PREVIEW By Victor Enyinnaya

Today, in far away Cameroon where the Africa Cup of Nations football Championship  is ongoing, two West African brothers; Snegal and Burkina Faso will confront each other in a make or mar encounter in search for final stage ticket of this edition of Africa’s most sort after football championship.
The game is anticipated to be a close to call affair if the pedigree of the teams are anything to rely upon. It would be recalled that both countries have reached the finals of the competition in different editions but failed to lift the diadem.
These countries have shown good measure of improvement from the last edition and one must pointedly acknoledege that raw doggedness to excel since the football festival kicked-off in the Central African country of Cameroon some weeks back now have played crucial roles in the affairs of especially the Stallions of Burkina Faso.
Football analysts, fans, bookmakers have been on their edge on who to vividly tip for the finals either at regulation or extra time. But pundits are of the opinion that the game may strenched to penalties to decide the winner.
The way and manner the day’s opponents came thus far further compounded it and so the team that guides her lions tight will be on the thrash hood of yet another final set up against the second semi-final  winner in that obvious difficult tie between host Cameroon’s Indomitable Lions and Pharaohs of Egypt on Thursady.
Note that both countries are multi winners of this tournament and the face-off won’t  be child’s play.
What will not be ruled out totally in today’s game would be that the teams will not give each other much breathing space to operate. In short  there will be few chances created the onions depends on any team that utilizes her even half chance at goal. The benches will likely dug into the archives of each other to envolve killer formular that would make their day.
No doubt, both sides may also adopt the strategy to shoot on sight all on their bid to carry the day. They knew each other haven tangoed themselves in the past.
Senegal has qualified for finals in the past without the trophy so applies to Burkina Faso.
The above executive summary will serve as litmus test as they  try each other for size. The football summit has entered crunchy stage and only the fittest will surive this close tie that any result is achievable at the end of the day.
From all indications Terenga Lions of Senegal looks it for the finals. This game as unpredictable as it has proved over these years makes it extremely difficult to stick ones neck out.
Let the better side that played purposeful, compact, impressive game and over all listens to instruction from their coaches smile. Victory won’t be on platter of gold never! Head or tail, a winner must emerge. 
So let the bubble burst!!
