Africa Cup of Nations: Last 16 betting previews, match tips & TV details

Eurosport 2 from 5pm Friday

Uganda v Senegal

8pm

Senegal started the tournament slowly but they clicked into gear with a 3-0 success over Kenya on Monday and should be far too pacy and powerful for Uganda in the last 16.

Reaching the knockout stages is a good effort from Uganda but their limitations were exposed by hosts Egypt, who defeated them 2-0 in Cairo.

Sebastien Desabre's side have looked fully committed and well-organised but cannot come close to matching the quality of Senegal, whose potent attack includes Liverpool striker Sado Mane and highly-rated Rennes winger Ismaila Sarr.

Recommendation
Senegal & under 3.5 goals
1pt 20-23 Coral

Key stat
Senegal have won seven of their last eight fixtures.

Morocco v Benin

5pm

Morocco justified their pot-one seeding status by posting three 1-0 wins during the Africa Cup of Nations group stage and they should maintain their challenge with a routine victory over Benin in the round of 16.

The knockout stages are uncharted territory for Benin, who had suffered three group-stage exits at previous tournaments.

They drew all three of their games in Group F, extending their winless run at the Africa Cup of Nations to 12 matches, but a defeat is on the cards against the Moroccans, who are bidding to win the competition for the first time since 1976.

Recommendation
Morocco win to nil
1pt 11-10 Coral, Ladbrokes

Key stat
Morocco have kept clean sheets in their last five competitive games.
