The hosts Cameron have so far made home advantage count having won all but one of their five matches.<\/p>\n

Les Lions Indomitables have cruised past Comoros and Gambia to reach the semis.<\/p>\n

Egypt produced a huge win to reach the last four of the competition last week as they defeated Morocco.<\/p>\n

Mo Salah fired his country into the semi-finals with a goal and an assist as the Pharaohs came from behind to win in extra-time.<\/p>\n

Here are our top tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cameroon to win and both teams to score (5\/1 odds)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Cameroon have been on fire at the AFCON this year netting an impressive 15 goals in five matches.<\/p>\n

Toni Concei\u00e7\u00e3o\u2019s side boasts the top leading scorers at the tournament in Vincent Aboubakar (6) and Karl Toko-Ekambi (5).<\/p>\n

However, in four of those five matches, both teams have scored and with Salah in attack for Egypt goals are expected.<\/p>\n

Vincent Aboubakar to score first (7\/2 odds) or anytime (7\/5 odds)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Aboubakar is the leading scorer at this years AFCON with six goals.<\/p>\n

His partnership with Toko-Ekambi has proven to be a lethal weapon for Cameroon.<\/p>\n

Egypt will need to keep close quarters on the striker on Thursday evening.<\/p>\n

For the third time in the last four AFCONs, Burkina Faso have once again overcome the odds to reach the semi-final stage of the competition.<\/p>\n

Les \u00c9talons defeated Tunisia in the quarter-finals with Dango Ouattara betting the only goal of the game on the stroke of half-time.<\/p>\n

Following a lacklustre group stage, Senegal have sprung into life in the knockout stages.<\/p>\n

Senegal managed to beat Cape Verde 2-0 in the Round of 16 before defeating Equatorial Guinea 3-1 to reach the last four.<\/p>\n

Here are our top tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both teams to score (13\/8 odds)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Typically, this has been a high scoring fixture in the past.<\/p>\n

Since 2007, these two nations have met four times with 12 goals being scored.<\/p>\n

Burkina Faso have scored in all five of their matches at AFCON, whilst Senegal have netted five times in their two knockout stage games.<\/p>\n

Sadio Mane to score first (3\/1 odds) or anytime (6\/5 odds)<\/a><\/p>\n

Sadio Man\u00e9 is Senegal\u2019s star man and has netted an impressive 28 times for his country.<\/p>\n

Eight of those goals have come at four different major tournaments.<\/p>\n

Now, Aliou Ciss\u00e9\u2019s side will need him to really step up when it matters most and fire Senegal into the final.<\/p>\n
