The last clash of the two selections took place six years ago in the qualifiers for the African Cup of Nations, and there were no goals, while earlier Cameroon enrolled two, Senegal and one win.
Senegal
However, the selection of Senegal in the meantime a lot more advanced and are thus, in the opinion of many, on this competition and came as one of the favorites, no matter what so far never failed to reach the title of continental champion. In addition, we need to know that they were the only teams with maximum effect in the qualifiers for the African Cup of Nations, after that and at the start of qualifying for the World Cup in 2018 celebrated at home against Cape Verde with 2: 0, but then followed with hosting South Africa, where they experienced their first defeat in the last year and a half.
But in this competition in Gabon were returned in the right form and after two rounds as the first in their group qualified for the quarterfinals, joining victory of 2: 0 win over Tunisia and Zimbabwe, so that in the last round in a practically an exhibition but written-off match against Algeria played 2: 2nd However, now will they selector Cisse against Cameroon again to field his strongest forces, led by the great players of Liverpool Mane, who was the shooter and against Tunisia and against Zimbabwe.
Probable lineups Senegal: Diallo – Gass, Koulibaly, Kara, M’Bengue – Kouyate, Gueye – Mane, Saivet, Keita – Diouf
Cameroon
As for the selection of Cameroon, they have a place in the quarter-finals won mainly thanks to the fact that they were by far the easiest group at the African Cup of Nations, and to the host Gabon, Burkina Faso and Guinea-Bissau, which are actually one and won, and it in the second round with a 2: 1. In the remaining two matches they played 1: 1 against Burkina Faso and in the decisive third round of 0: 0 with Gabon, where they create and show their greatest strength, and it is a very solid game in defense.
On the other hand, the coach Broos in the attack has nothing to cheerful players but are also two big stars of this team, Njie and Aboubakar, so far a lot more time spent on the bench than on the field, while only Moukandjo justify the trust. Otherwise, against Gabon Broos due cardboard he could not count on a standard Mandjeck midfielder, but he will surely now resume his place in the starting 11, just like Ekambi that the wing still operates somewhat withdrawn from Tambea.
Probable lineups Cameroon: Ondo – Fai, Teikeu, Ngadjui, Oyong – Mandjeck, Siani – Salli, Bassogog, Ekambi – Moukandjo
