By Tosin Omojola –

Four matches are on the card as teams file to the pitches again after their opening fixtures in the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) taking place in Morocco.

Group B matches will kick off the hostilities of day two, with the quartet of Egypt, Angola, Zimbabwe and South Africa battling it out for maximum points.

In the first match of the day, Zimbabwe will take on Angola, while Egypt will lock horns with South Africa in a mouth-watering fixture.

Both the Pharaohs and Bafana Bafana go into today’s fixture as joint group leaders with three points each, having won their opening matches against Zimbabwe and Angola, who go into today’s games with no points.

Action shifts to Group A later in the day as hosts Morocco, debutants Comoros, Mali and Zambia return to action.

Zambia will engage Comoros in the first game, before hosts Morocco trade tackles with Mali.

Morocco top the group going into today’s clashes, courtesy of their opening-day win over Comoros, who occupy the bottom with no points, while Mali and Zambia have a point each going into today’s matches.
