Group A

Nigeria will have to bounce back from defeat in a big way when they host Sudan in Abuja. The Super Eagles are at the bottom of the group with one point after suffering a second shock loss, going down 1-0 to Sudan in Khartoum and know that anything less than maximum points will decrease their chances of defending their title in Morocco.

Log leaders South Africa will look to extend their one point lead over Congo when the two sides meet in Polokwane. Bafana Bafana defeated the Red Devils 2-0 in Pointe-Noire over the weekend and will remain at the top of the table if they avoid defeat at home.

Group standings: South Africa 7, Congo 6, Sudan 3, Nigeria 1
