Will it be Cameroon or Ghana taking on Egypt or Burkina Faso in the 2017 AFCON final?
Cameroon
How they got here: Cameroon drew their opener against Burkina Faso, then beat debutants Guinea-Bissau 2-0. They then recorded yet another stalemate in their last group stage game against hosts Gabon to finish second in their quartet behind Burkina Faso on five points. Hugo Broos's side then held their nerve in a tense spot-kick shootout to eliminate Senegal after star man Sadio Mane missed his penalty to book their spot in the final four.
Broos faced a crisis pre-tournament as several key players opted not to participate. That means this Cameroon side is a much weaker and less experienced one than in prior competitions, but that has not prevented Les Lions Indomptables from successfully navigating their way to this juncture.
Ghana
How they got here: Ghana earned two 1-0 wins over Mali and Uganda, and despite losing to Egypt by the same score-line, it was enough to see the Black Stars through to the quarter-finals. Avram Grant's men put on a much-improved performance to beat DR Congo 2-1, which marked the first game they have scored more than one goal.
Grant's side have not been immune from criticism, with some feeling that the team could do more. Two out of their four goals scored so far at AFCON 2017 have been via penalties, and in fact, the game-winner against DR Congo also came from the spot after the Leopards had equalized. With Asamoah Gyan set to return, the Black Stars' attack will have Ghana's all-time top goalscorer in their ranks, which will give the 2015 AFCON finalists an extra option as they try to break down Cameroon's stingy defense.
