An exciting Group A reaches a potentially thrilling conclusion at the Africa Cup of Nations this evening. Only Guinea-Bissau have been eliminated thus far as the other three teams jostle for position and look to guarantee their spots in the last 16. AFCON hosts Cote d’Ivoire head into their clash with Equatorial Guinea sitting third on three points after their opening night win over Guinea-Bissau was followed by a frustrating loss to Nigeria last time out.
Jean-Louis Gasset’s side need a positive result on Monday in order to make sure of their progression, though a draw will likely be enough given their current spot at the top of the rankings of the best third-place teams, with eight of those set to go through. Equatorial Guinea top the group on four points after drawing with Nigeria and beating Guinea-Bissau and need just a point to definitely advance themselves. They would be confirmed as group winners if Nigeria don’t better their result tonight or else match their result but don’t overtake them on goal difference.
