2021 Africa Cup of Nations semifinals: Best bets for Wednesday's Burkina Faso-Senegal matchup from esteemed soccer insider

Sports betting insider Jon Eimer has locked in his top selections for the semifinal matchup in Yaounde, Cameroon.

Senegal and Burkina Faso will battle for a spot in the final on Wednesday when they face off in a 2021 Africa Cup of Nations match at Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium in Yaounde, Cameroon. Neither team has won the tournament before, and the winner will take on the victor from Thursday's second semifinal between Egypt and Cameroon.  

Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. ET. Caesars Sportsbook lists Senegal as the -115 favorite (risk $115 to win $100) on the 90-minute money line in its latest Burkina Faso vs. Senegal odds, with Burkina Faso the +450 underdog. A draw is priced at +185 and the Over-Under for total goals scored is set at 1.5. (For coverage of other soccer matches, including 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifying, click here).

Before locking in your Senegal vs. Burkina Faso picks or make any 2022 Africa Cup of Nations predictions, you HAVE TO see what sports gambling expert John Eimer has to say. 

Eimer is a high-volume bettor who has vast knowledge of leagues and players across the globe. Since joining SportsLine, Eimer has covered the English Premier League, Serie A, the FA Cup and much more. The Indiana-based handicapper compiled a winning record of 260-133-1 with over 90 units of profit for his community on various platforms over a recent two-month stretch.

Eimer knows Senegal has the superior talent, with English Premier League players like goalkeeper Edouard Mendy (Chelsea), Sadio Mane (Liverpool), Cheikhou Kouyate (Crystal Palace) and Ismaila Sarr (Watford). The squad was the runner-up in 2019, losing 1-0 to Algeria, and it has lost just one match since the start of 2021. Kouyate and Sarr both scored as substitutes and Mane set up the first goal in a 3-1 quarterfinal victory against Equatorial Guinea on Sunday.

The expert also has considered that the Burkina Faso players are young and hungry. They have lost one official game since January 2021, to fellow AFCON semifinalist Cameroon in the group stage here. The team didn't qualify in 2019 after finishing third in 2017. Dango Ouattara scored the winner in the 1-0 quarterfinal win against Tunisia but was sent off late in the second half. Aston Villa's Bertrand Traore has 13 goals in 63 appearances with Burkina Faso.      

Eimer has taken an in-depth look at the Burkina Faso vs. Senegal Africa Cup of Nations matchup and locked in his best bets. We can tell you he's leaning Over on the goal total in providing his best bets, including a CONFIDENT pick on the winner. He also offers a full breakdown of the match, and you ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks and analysis before making any selections of your own.
