Senegal have an uphill task as they face Mauritania in the African Nations Championship quarter finals. Senegal topped their group with six points but their race was dented with a loss to Uganda in the second game. They recovered to beat DR Congo 3-0 in the final group game for their second clean sheet in three matches. They have scored four and conceded one in this competition so far. In their last six CHAN matches, Senegal have four wins, and as many clean sheets and four of their last five matches in CHAN competitions have produced under 2.5 goals. They’ve failed to score in two of five CHAN games.

Mauritania are one of the surprise teams in this competition and may shock the favorites. They are unbeaten in their last 10 matches, winning seven of them, and come into this game with four straight clean sheets. They drew 0-0 with Angola in their first game at this competition before beating Mali 1-0 to advance past the group stage. Here they come having seen each of their last seven matches post under 2.5 goals. They have conceded just two goals in the last 10 matches and will be aiming at keeping their defensive solidity. They haven't been scoring a lot of goals but they have the consistency in attack, failing to score in just two of their last 10 games. In CHAN action, they have three clean sheets in four matches.
