Hosts Cameroon will square off against Gambia at the Japoma Stadium in Douala on Saturday in the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations.
The Indomitable Lions have emerged as the favorites to win the title on home soil, following what's been an incredible campaign for them.
They progressed from the group stages unbeaten, winning twice, and beat Comoros in the Last 16 to reach the quarter-finals.
Gambia, the tournament debutants, have also surpassed expectations by reaching thus far against all odds.
They progressed from a group featuring strong sides like Tunisia and Mali, and overcame Guinea in the last round.
However, their fairytale campaign meets with its toughest challenge yet.

Gambia and Cameroon have clashed only twice in history, with the latter coming out on top on both occasions.
In the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, the Indomitable Lions beat their West African counterparts 1-0 and 2-0 home and away respectively.
