The first semi final at the African Nations Championship (CHAN) will have Mali take on Guinea in an all-West African affair. Both nations topped their respective groups and as Mali seeks a second appearance in the final, Guinea’s best finish was fourth in 2016. Among the teams still in the competition, Mali is the team with the least goals, having scored just three up to this point. They also have the best defence, having conceded just one goal and needed a win on post match penalties to see off Congo in the quarters. Going to this game, Mali are unbeaten in eight matches in this competition, with five outright wins and another on post match penalties. They also have seven clean sheets in the eight CHAN games.

Guinea were also impressive in the group stages, and topped Group D. They progressed to the quarters and saw off Rwanda 1-0 to get here. So far in the tournament, Guinea have scored seven goals and two of the four have produced over 2.5 goals. They have two clean sheets in the four matches at this event and once conceded two goals. Guinea are however unbeaten in five CHAN matches.
