The Africa Cup of Nations group stage concludes this evening with the final knockout stage spots up for grabs. Atlas Lions have already secured their last-16 place with a win and a draw from their first two games, but Zambia have a fight on their hands.

Morocco, meanwhile, have their eyes on bigger things having been hotly tipped to go deep into the tournament and even as potential winners. Coach Walid Regragui will, though, be aware his team need to improve should they match those expectations.
