Senegal vs Mali Head to Head: A Fierce West African Battle for an AFCON Semi-Final Spot

The Senegal vs Mali head to head has generally favoured the Lions of the Teranga in recent times but this one feels wide open given how both sides have reached the knockout stage of the competition.

Senegal's path to the quarter-finals has been pretty solid. They topped their group with strong performances, earning 9/9 points. In the round of 16, they came from behind to beat the Sudan national football team 3-1 in Tangier with Sadio Mane and the attack clicking nicely late in the match.
