Senegal's 2022 Afcon triumph has given them a significant edge over their Sudanese opponents, but Sudan have shown remarkable resilience in the face of their country's ongoing war. The Ghanaian coach Kwesi Appiah has instilled discipline into his team, with players who are willing to take risks and play for each other. For Sudan, a win would be an incredible fairy tale, one that could inspire a generation of footballers.
Meanwhile, Mali look set to cause some problems for Tunisia in their encounter at the weekend. The Malian side boast a talented squad, featuring Tottenham's Yves Bissouma and Auxerre striker Lassine Sinayoko, who have been impressive throughout the tournament. Mali are known for their free-flowing football, which is always an attractive spectacle to watch.
Morocco will be looking to put their nerves behind them as they host Tanzania in a game that should be straightforward. The Atlas Lions have shown incredible firepower, with players like Brahim Diaz and Achraf Hakimi on the ball. Ayoub El Kaabi's spectacular goal against Zambia has been widely praised, and it is hard to see how the Tanzanians can contain this talented Moroccan side.
Hugo Broos' South African team will be aware of the threat posed by Cameroon, who were coached by Broos himself before being replaced earlier in the tournament. The South Africans have improved significantly under Broos, but they may struggle against a Cameroon side that has shown some impressive form.
Egypt are heavy favourites to beat Benin, despite the manager Gernot Rohr's assertion that this will be "a big game" for his team. Egypt boast an impressive squad, featuring players like Omar Marmoush and Mohamed Salah, who should prove too much for the Beninese side.
Nigeria, meanwhile, look set to make short work of Mozambique. With a potent strike force including Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman and Samuel Chukwueze, Nigeria have already shown they are capable of dominating matches in this tournament.
In the Algerian versus Congolese match, both coaches - Vladimir Petkovic and Sébastien Desabre - will be looking to exploit any weaknesses in their opponents' defences. Both teams possess talented players like Riyad Mahrez and Fiston Mayele, who have consistently shown they can produce quality performances.
Côte d'Ivoire are the defending champions, but a 7pm match against Burkina Faso could go either way. The Ivorians have been criticized for their decision-making since winning the tournament last year, with manager Emerse Faé struggling to instill confidence in his team. Despite this, they still possess an impressive squad and should be able to outlast Burkina Faso.
The final question is whether Algeria or Democratic Republic of Congo can secure a result in their match at 4pm. Both teams boast talented players like Riyad Mahrez and Edmund Tapsoba, who will be eager to prove themselves against each other's teams. This is likely to be a game that sees both coaches employing various tactics in an attempt to outmanoeuvre each other.
In the Côte d'Ivoire versus Burkina Faso match on Tuesday at 7pm, it is difficult to predict which team will come out on top. The Ivorians are looking to prove they can succeed without the complacency that followed their victory last year, while Burkina Faso have shown impressive form and should be a force to be reckoned with in this tournament.
However, it would seem that Côte d'Ivoire are the slight favourites going into this match.

think Mali's free-flowing style could give Tunisia some trouble but at the same time, Tunisia have been solid so far 
also can't wait to see how morocco takes on tanzania, atlas lions are always a force to be reckoned with 
. And wow, Mali's free-flowing style of play sounds so much fun to watch 
. Morocco's firepower is going to be tough for Tanzania to handle 
. Cameroon's team looks solid under Broos, but I think South Africa will struggle against them 
.
. I'm also keeping an eye on Côte d'Ivoire vs Burkina Faso - the Ivorians are going to need to show some serious improvement if they want to win that match 
Sudan's fairy tale win would be 
inspiration for football fans worldwide 
and would make for a 
epic story to tell 
. if Congo can keep their cool and stick to their strategy, i reckon they might just have a chance to sneak one past Algeria
i mean, senegal beating sudan will be like an incredible fairy tale but for sudan to pull off a win would be like a miracle 
and what's with mali's squad featuring players from top european clubs? 
It's so inspiring to see Sudan showing resilience despite everything they're going through, and I think it would be amazing if Yves Bissouma from Tottenham can lead them to a win 
. Mali looks like a dark horse for me, their free-flowing style is infectious & makes you want to watch more of their games 
! Morocco, Egypt, Nigeria... they all seem so confident with their firepower, but I still think it's anyone's game at this point 
. Still, you gotta love the spirit of Sudan and the fact that they're makin' a stand in the face of all this adversity 
. On the other hand, Nigeria's attack looks almost unbeatable with Osimhen, Ademola Lookman and Samuel Chukwueze up front 
.
. But at the end of the day, I still think Mali has the edge 
️. The Atlas Lions are way too good for that team 
.
. Both teams have made huge progress under Hugo Broos, but when it comes down to it, I think Cameroon might just come out on top 
. Their free-flowing style is so hard to stop 
️ But seriously, the talent and discipline in Ghana's squad is undeniable.
! The Malian side has some serious firepower, and I'm loving their free-flowing style of play. Yves Bissouma and Lassine Sinayoko are absolute talents 
. They've been looking fierce all tournament, and that Brahim Diaz goal against Zambia was pure magic 
.
.
too! Both teams have those super talented players, Riyad Mahrez and Fiston Mayele. This one's gonna be a real tactical battle 
!
.
! If they can keep up their form, they've got a real shot at causing some problems for Tunisia and maybe even making it to the finals 
. And Morocco just looks too strong, I don't think Tanzania can compete with those guys 
.
. And I think Egypt is gonna steamroll Benin too 
. But it's all about how these teams react under pressure now 
Mali and Morocco look super strong too
