The semi finals of the African Nations Championship (CHAN) get underway on Wednesday and in one of the two, hosts Cameroon and defending champions Morocco go head to head. Morocco have been one of the best performers at this year’s event and are tipped to successfully defend the title. This will however be their toughest game yet, after literally strolling past Zambia in the quarters. Zambia had a man sent off early in the quarter final clash and by the time they pulled one goal back, Morocco had already scored three. The biggest scare for Morocco was in the final group game as they came from behind to beat Uganda 5-2. They are the best performing team amongst the nations that graced the tournament, with an unbeaten run of 15 matches in CHAN games. The six goals they scored in Group C made them joint top scorers at that stage and they generally carry that threat in their matches.

Cameroon haven’t been very entertaining as hosts, but have done what they needed to do so far. They finished second in Group A behind Mali and will really be tested when they face Morocco. The hosts scored just two goals in the three group games as they finished with five points but showed real intent when they came from down to beat Congo DR 2-1 in the quarters. That comeback marked the only moment the hosts scored twice in the same game in this event. Cameroon have managed just two wins in their last seven matches in this competition and this is the first time they have managed to go past the quarter finals.
