Cape Verde will take on Mauritania in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Round-of-16 at the Felix Houphouet-Boigny Stadium on Monday. Cape Verde were toppers in a group that also had the likes of Egypt and Ghana, whereas Mauritania qualified as one of the best third-placed teams from the group stage.
Cape Verde pulled off a victory against Ghana in their opening game of the tournament. Then they beat Mozambique before holding Egypt to a 2-2 draw in the final group fixture to qualify as group winners. Mauritania lost their matches against Burkina Faso and Angola but sneaked a win past Algeria to become one of the best third-placed teams. They will find it hard to beat an in-form Cape Verde.
