Goal Scorer:
Mali
Apart from own goals (Edmond Tapsoba scored at the wrong end in Mali's win over Burkina Faso), Lassine Sinayoko has netted three of the Eagles' four goals at the finals, making him their undoubted threat.
Amadou Haidara is doubtful after going off injured in minute 73 against the Stallions, and the RB Leipzig man may not add to his three starts in the competition against the host nation.
Tottenham Hotspur man Yves Bissouma has been in and out of the side, starting 50% of Mali's four games, and the midfield man's participation is uncertain.
Mali possible starting lineup:
Diarra; H. Traore, Kouyate, Niakate, Sacko; Coulibaly, Bissouma, Camara; Doumbia; A. Traore, Sinayoko
Ivory Coast
Ivory Coast have been patient with Haller and Adingra leading up to the last eight, but Fae could start the pair in Saturday's clash.
Ibrahim Sangare and Odilon Kossounou are touch-and-go for the quarter-final meeting after seemingly sustaining injuries against Senegal.
Ivory Coast possible starting lineup:
Fofana; Aurier, Kossounou, Ndicka, Konan; Seri, Kessie; Pepe, Fofana, Adingra; Haller
Prediction: Mali 1-2 Ivory Coast
