"It is a very difficult to pick between Ghana and Cameroon because they are two great African football nations," Esin tells Completesportsnigeria.com.

"But I'm very happy with what Abedi Pele's sons (Andre and Jordan) are doing. Abedi captained Ghana, his son (Andre) is now the captain, which is great.

"So, if I am forced to make a pick, I think I will go for Ghana because they are really doing well."

The match will be played in Franceville with the winner taking on Egypt who advanced last night following victory on penalties against Burkina Faso
