Guinea vs Gambia – Team Previews
Guinea
Guinea were beaten 2-1 by Zimbabwe in their third group-stage fixture at the Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo on Tuesday.
Kaba Diawara's men found themselves two goals heading into the break thanks to Knowledge Musona and Kudakwashe Mahachi before pulling one back through Naby Keita in the second period.
The National Elephants ended Group B in second place, one point behind group winners Senegal and ahead of third-placed Malawi only on goal difference.
Having won just one of their last 10 competitive outings, the West Africans will need to get their act together as they enter into the most unforgiving phase of the AFCON.
Skipper Naby Keita is suspended after he picked up his second yellow card of the competition last time out.
After sitting out the last game, Roma midfielder Amadou Diawara is expected to return to the starting XI as a result of Keita's absence.
Predicted lineup; Aly Keita; Mamadou Kane, Mohamed Camara, Saidou Sow, Ibrahima Conte; Issiaga Sylla, Amadou Diawara, Mamadou Kane; Aguibou Camara; Mohamed Bayo, Jose Kante
Gambia
Gambia recorded what is arguably their most impressive result so far when they beat Tunisia 1-0 at the Limbe Stadium on Thursday.
With the game level heading into its final knockings, Ablie Jallow popped up with the winner in the third minute of stoppage time to lead Tom Saintfiet's men to victory.
The Scorpions ended Group F as runners-up albeit level on points with group winners Mali who also amassed seven points from three games and have been one of the dark horses so far.
Ablie Jallow came off the bench to good effect last time out and could be rewarded with a starting spot this time around.
This would see Mohammed Mbye drop back to the bench after he was handed a rare start in his side's final group-stage outing.
Predicted lineup; Modou Jobe; Pa Modou, Omar Colley, James Gomez, Saidy Janko; Ablie Jallow, Sulayman Marreh, Ebou Adams, Ebrima Colley, Musa Barrow; Assan Ceesay
