What is at stake for the Ivory Coast and Cameroon?

Both nations entered the 35th instalment of Africa's flagship international knockout competition, enlaced with star quality, with the likes of Amad Diallo and Wilfried Zaha featuring for the current holders, and Manchester United's Bryan Mbeumo representing the Indomitable Lions. 

While off-the-field matters dominated Cameroonian headlines pre-tournament, including a managerial sacking and the inadvertent release of two conflicting squad lists, David Pagou's side's preparations do not look to have been derailed. 

After both sides claimed victory in their respective tournament openers, Group F's showpiece match is perfectly poised.

With knockout berths at stake, victory for either side would likely guarantee a place in the quarter-finals, as well as edging them closer to being crowned Group F winners.
