Team news

Les Fennecs have no injury concerns for this game, which means fans can expect an identical lineup to the one that beat Guinea 3-0 in the round of 16. Adlène Guédioura should be cautious, however, as he is one yellow card away from a suspension.

As for the Elephants, they are without Serge Aurier which means Mamadou Bagayoko will continue to deputize. Wilfried Zaha was the team's hero in the 1-0 victory over Mali, scoring the winning goal, and will thus continue leading his nation's attack.
