As the Africa Cup of Nations goes into the last eight – starting with hotly tipped hosts, Cameroon, taking on giant-killers, Gambia, tomorrow

– FRANCE 24 gives a preview of the football action to come.Hosts, Cameroon, installed themselves as competition favourites with a string of impressive victories, most notably, the 4-1 thumping of Ethiopia in the group stage that lit up a previously goal-shy tournament.

They also benefit from playing on home territory – with Camerounian fans creating an electric atmosphere at their team’s matches, intimidating their opponents. The Eagles of Carthage compensated by thrashing minnows Mauritania 4-0. Then Gambia defeated Tunisia, pushing them down to the third place. In this context, few expected them to triumph against Nigeria, who were the only team to win all their group stage matches. Tunisia stunned the Super Eagles with a 1-0 second-round victory, however, exploiting a Nigeria red card.

Morocco’s opponents, Egypt, enjoy an extraordinary asset, Liverpool’s Mo Salah, one of the greatest players of his generation. But they lack star talent elsewhere on the pitch. A surprise penalty shoot-out victory over Cote d’Ivoire gave them a ticket to the quarterfinals.
