Burkina Faso will face Senegal in the early hours of Thursday (3) morning as the African Cup of Nations enters its final four stage. Senegal's defense is excellent, only conceding 1 goal in 5 matches so far, facing Burkina Faso, which is a weaker brand, is naturally looked upon highly; Burkina Faso's defense has been a surprise this year, and the two sides have met 3 times in recent years, all of which have ended in a draw, and all of which have started with a draw at half-time, so a draw at half-time is a good idea.

Senegal's magnificent squad is one of the best in Africa, with Edouard Yavendi, Ghoulibani, Pernassia, Edouard Dialou, Izous Sagour and Shadi Owni all playing for the top teams in Europe, which makes them superb. They have only conceded 1 goal in 5 matches this year, which is the fewest in this year's tournament. However, because the front line relies too much on Shadi Owaini, it is easy for the opponents to guard them in the first half, so they often fail to attack for a long time, and have to wait for the opponents to decline in stamina in the second half before they can open the gap, which is why 4 out of 5 matches in this year's tournament have been a blank sheet in the first half with the opponents.
Burkina Faso defends hard and clean
Burkina Faso is undoubtedly the weaker of the four in this year's African Cup of Nations and has the lowest reputation, with players mainly coming from Europe's second-tier leagues and lower divisions, including Aston Villa wing Bertrand Chahor.

The overall quality of the team is not outstanding as they seldom play. However, their morale is very good, and they are aware of themselves, always focusing on defense. Of the 4 goals they conceded this year, 3 of them were from 12 yards, and the other one was an own goal, which shows that their defense is quite tough. More importantly, their 3 group matches, the round of 16 against Gabon and the round of 8 against Tunisia all have a record, so Senegal will be more alert in the early stage, and the chances of a half-draw are not very slim.
