Gabon(-0.75)AH vs. Mali - Preview

 They proved it already, as they won all their group games, beating strong teams like Maroco and Tunisia, also Niger. Gabon is strong side, well-packed team, and showed that got great offensive skills, scoring 6 goals so far, keeping 2 clean sheets.

 I didnt expect Mali to win progress, but they quite lucky won over another home side Guinea with 1:0, where they got only one chance during the 90 minutes, but scored. Also they got help from the post once, and from the referee, who didnt award a clear penalty against them. Mali\'s striker is well known in my country - Garra Dembele, who was first in my local team - Lokomotiv and then played at Levski for a while. Now he is in Freiburg and hasnt got even 1 game as a starter in the first part of the season.

 I rate Gabon as the better side, and I expect them to use their home advantage on the most proper way, winning this 1/4 final
