"Of all the teams Mali have impressed me most and Guinea look a poor side," said Garbacz. "Mali's defence looks very solid and Kanoute has arguably been the classiest striker in the tournament.

"How Spurs could have done with him being around against Man City on Wednesday night!" Guinea needed a late strike from former Liverpool reserve Titi Camara to earn a 1-1 draw against Tunisia to preserve their African Cup of Nations status in their final group match.

Unbeaten Mali are 10/11 to defeat 11/4 Guinea on Saturday. Cameroon are firm's 9/4 outright favourites with Tunisia and Morocco both 9/2. Senegal and Nigeria are 5s and 11/2 respectively.

Cameroon are 5/4 to beat 2/1 Nigeria on Sunday.
