With Bafana Bafana tipped as one of the favourites after winning bronze at the last edition of the Africa Cup of Nations Afcon in Ivory Coast last year, we take stock of how the group stages could pan out at the tournament from December 21 to January 18 in Morocco.
Overview: This group is expected to be a two-horse race between host Morocco and Mali. Zambia and Comoros will need to dig deep if theyre to cause any upset.
Morocco remain favourites to clinch the title, not only because they are the hosts but also because they are Africas highest-ranked nation and 11th in the world. Theyve not won the Afcon since 1976, and if theres a chance to finally end their wait, this is the moment.
