Arguably the biggest surprise package of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, Equatorial Guinea take on Guinea in the last-16 on Sunday at Stade Olympique Alassane Ouattara in Abidjan.
Having topped a group containing Nigeria and hosts Ivory Coast and coming off back-to-back thumping wins, they will harbour genuine ambitions of going deep - even if the winner of this game will face Egypt or DR Congo in the quarter-finals.
Guinea, meanwhile, will be looking to snap a six-game losing streak in the AFCON knockout phase. A draw with Cameroon and a win over Gambia in Group C were enough for them to qualify as one of the four best third-placed sides for this stage.

Former Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita, who missed The National Elephants' first two games due to injury, is also expected to start in attack.
