Equatorial Guinea enter the final Group E match under extreme pressure, having collected no points from two defeats and now requiring not only a victory but also favourable results elsewhere to keep their qualification hopes alive. The team have repeatedly struggled with efficiency in the final third, which is clearly reflected in the fact that they have scored only three goals across their last six competitive matches. Further complications are created by the fitness concerns surrounding key midfielders Santiago Eneme and Pedro Obiang, as well as the suspension of Basilio Ndong, all of which further weaken an already fragile team structure. Algeria, by contrast, arrive in Rabat as the dominant group leaders with two wins from two matches and a place in the knockout stage already secured, allowing them to manage the rhythm of the game and rotate their lineup where necessary. The main reference point in attack remains Riyad Mahrez, who has scored all of Algeria’s decisive goals at the tournament and continues to confirm his role as the central leader in the attacking phase. Even with expected changes to the starting eleven, Algeria possess a broader and more balanced squad that should be capable of taking control against an offensively limited opponent, and given the difference in quality, form and mental state between the two sides, an Algerian victory appears the most likely outcome.

Gabon approach the final Group F fixture with no realistic chance of qualification, as two defeats combined with unfavourable head-to-head records have mathematically eliminated them from the race for the round of 16. The team have shown occasional attacking moments during the tournament, but repeated lapses in defensive concentration have led to unsustainable losses, most notably in the dramatic defeat against Mozambique. Despite the individual contribution of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Gabon remain structurally unbalanced and lack the competitive stability required at this level. Ivory Coast enter the match as the defending champions with a long unbeaten run in competitive fixtures and a clear motivation to secure the best possible position for the knockout phase. Emerse Fae’s side combine defensive reliability with efficiency in the final third, with Amad Diallo currently the only goalscorer for the Elephants at the tournament. Considering Ivory Coast’s favourable recent head-to-head record against Gabon and their superior form and psychological momentum, the more experienced and compact side are expected to confirm their status as favourites and claim all three points.

Al Kholood are going through a difficult phase of the season, having lost five consecutive league matches and possessing one of the most vulnerable defences in the competition. The team have conceded nineteen goals in ten league rounds and with each additional setback are drifting closer to the relegation zone. Although Ramiro Enrique is among the most productive players in the squad, individual attacking contributions have so far been unable to compensate for the structural deficiencies at the back. Al-Hilal arrive in outstanding form, having won fifteen consecutive matches in all competitions and consistently ranking among the most tactically organised teams in the league. Simone Inzaghi’s side rely on the attacking efficiency of Marcos Leonardo and Malcom, who continue to deliver high-level performances in front of goal. Despite the absence of goalkeeper Bono, Al-Hilal possess a sufficiently deep and high-quality squad capable of controlling the match and gradually breaking down their opponents, and given the clear gap in quality, form and overall stability, they are expected to extend their winning run with another three points.
