Senegal and Algeria meet on Sunday evening in Cairo to contest the final of the Africa Cup of Nations.
These two sides have already met in the tournament, with Algeria triumphing 1-0 in their second group match nearly three weeks ago.
Nevertheless, it is the Lions of Teranga who are the favourites this weekend and a Senegalese success would see the country celebrate their first ever AFCON title.
Latest odds
SportPesa price Senegal at 17/10 (2.70) to win in 90 minutes and at 5/6 (1.83) to lift the trophy. Algeria are offered at 27/10 (3.70) to win without extra time and at 10/11 (1.91) to be crowned continental champions for the first time since 1990.

Team news
Senegal are missing Kalidou Koulibay, with the Napoli defender suspended after receiving two yellow cards in his last three matches. Otherwise, there are no major absences from the final.
Preview
Both of these sides are worthy finalists, having produced strong displays throughout the tournament and each coming through tough semi-final clashes in dramatic fashion.
Algeria may have edged their group meeting with a solitary goal, but it was a tight encounter with both teams enjoying 50 per cent possession and each managing just two shots on target.
With the trophy on the line on Friday night we should expect a similarly contested game, and backing the match to go to extra time appeals.
Algeria's quarter-final tie was won on penalties, while only a 95th-minute wonder strike from Riyad Mahrez prevented their semi-final against Nigeria from going on for at least another half an hour.
Senegal were taken to extra time in their semi-final against another stubborn north African side in Tunisia, and there should be plenty of interest in backing a close game.
Tips and predictions
The draw is offered at 39/20 (2.95) which certainly appeals, with half of the AFCON finals this century going to extra time.
If the game goes to extra time then history shows that it is likely to go to penalties, with the five finals since 2000 that have ended level after 90 minutes all subsequently being decided by spot-kicks. Algeria to win on penalties is priced at 9/1 (10.00) and could well be a strong option for a value bet.
