Loved Senegal face surprise semi-finalists, Burkina Faso, in the battle for a seat in the Africa Cup of Nations final.
Having beaten in their entrance game to hosts Cameroon, Burkina Faso have exhibited remarkable force to progress to the last four.
They only scored just a single goal in every game but qualified to withstand the challenges of Gabon and Tunisia in their two knockout bonds so far.
Senegal expected second-half goals from substitutes Cheikhou Kouyate and Ismaila Sarr but know that a spot in the final is almost a must for a team that has curiously never succeeded in this tournament.
Aliou Cisse’s side was whipped by Algeria in the final of the last AFCON.
Senegal does not seem to have any new fitness problems, but Aliou Cisse may stimulate his midfield and attack after Cheikhou Kouyate and Ismaila Sarr made goal-scoring effects from the bench.
Sadio Mane survived an injury alarm to begin that game and should again commence in the front three and possible be joined by Sarr.
Burkina Faso will be trimmed of their quarter-final match-winner - young forward Dango Ouattara.
Dango was expelled after scoring his first goal for his national team and will be suspended.
