The final spots in the Quarter final stage for the Africa Cup of Nations will be handed out on Tuesday, where four teams will go toe-to-toe to try and claim one of those tickets that are still available.
Fans should mark their calendars to watch some of the finest national teams in the region fighting for the two slots in the next round, led by Morocco and Mali, who won their respective groups. The Malians will go ahead to face Burkina Faso in the first match of the day, leaving 2022 World Cup sensation Morocco to put an end to the Round of 16 when they lock horns against the Bafana Bafana.
The outcome of this match will have a major effect in the rest of the tournament, as the winners will go on to face each other in the Quarter finals.
Let us have a look at each clash.
Mali vs Burkina Faso
The Eagles managed to win Group E without any losses, and they sealed the top spot with a goalless draw facing Namibia.This time, the Malians will go on to face the runners-up in Group D, who managed to reach the KO stage despite losing their final match against Angola. These teams will re-ignite their rivalry after their last match in 2021, which went Mali's way 1-0. In fact, Mali dominate the all-time stats against Burkina Faso, with 14 wins in 25 matches. Burkina Faso have not beaten Mali since 1999, but the team led by Hubert Velud has proven to be quite capable of turning things around here.

Morocco vs South Africa
The Atlas Lions enter this match as one of the top candidates to take the top gong, and their match against South Africa should give us a better idea on what to expect from them in coming days. Walid Regragui's men finished as the best team in Group F with seven points, while South Africa claimed the No. 2 spot in Group E, which was confirmed after a goalless draw against Tunisia in their final group match. This will be the first KO stage match between these teams since the 1998 edition of the tournament, where South Africa claimed the win and went on to play the final. It will not be an easy game for Morocco, especially considering that the most recent meeting between these teams concluded with a win for South Africa last year.
