AFCON draws to a close with Senegal facing hosts Morocco in the final on Sunday night.
The pair confirmed their spots in the showpiece match for Africa’s biggest prize by prevailing in the semi-finals, with Senegal defeating Egypt and Morocco overcoming the threat of Nigeria.
Sadio Mane scored the sole goal as the Lions of Teranga beat Mohamed Salah and co 1-0, while the Atlas Lions came out on top in a penalty shootout after playing out a goalless stalemate.
Senegal are on the hunt for a second AFCON title, having previously triumphed in 2021. They have also finished as runners-up on two occasions in the past, once in 2002 and again in 2019.
Unfortunately for Pape Thiaw’s side, they have been dealt a major blow ahead of the clash, as Sunderland’s Habib Diarra is suspended. Captain Kalidou Koulibaly is suspended for the tie, too.
Meanwhile, their advancement to the final means El Hadji Malick Diouf misses West Ham vs Tottenham on Saturday. It comes as a major blow for the Hammers’ top-flight survival hopes.
As for Morocco, they have no injury or suspension concerns for the historic fixture.
It will be the first time that they’ve been in an AFCON final since 2004, having won the competition just once previously. They were crowned champions of Africa back in 1976.
The Atlas Lions haven’t lost a competitive game on home soil since 2009, while they are now unbeaten in 26 straight matches in all competitions. These records could propel them to glory.
Their victories at this year’s tournament haven’t come without controversy, however. This is as Walid Regragui has been forced to speak out against claims of referee bias favouring Morocco.
These claims were highlighted once again following their win over Nigeria on Wednesday.
Ahead of the action, we’ve asked AI to provide us with its best player bets for the clash.
