Penultimate group day

Tonight penultimate quartet of teams will play in the group phase. After the action only two can progress through while the other half will have to go home. For those two spots three teams are battling to stay longer in the tournament.

- Morocco - Ivory Coast. In the most interesting match of the night this can be called - decisive for both. Morocco is in favorable position because it has one point more from the opponent and with a win the team will 'sleep quietly'. On the other hand Ivory Coast also seek three points to be sure of qualification for the quarter finals. The only problem they have is that, like the hosts (Gabon), the team are achieving only stalemates at the event and a new one will be equal to disaster. Also, the efficiency could be a little bit of a problem (from time to time) for both, this could well be an undecided match with sharing of points.
- Togo - Democratic Republic of Congo. Surprise to many Togo has little chances to be seen again from Saturday. Playing against the leader in group C it can only be worse because Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) looks like a strong team. Being in a good form means that DRC will attack for new three points where they will only confirm first place. In order for a win Togo needs to consolidate its team and be extremely focused on the play, but playing versus the strongest it seems to be simply impossible.
