Amad Diallo (Ivory Coast) and Bryan Mbeumo (Cameroon) both won opening matches and were deservedly named Man of the Match in their respective wins over Mozambique and Gabon.
A slot in the round of 16 is at stake for the match winner with a game to spare.
From their win over Mozambique, the Elephants, reigning champions, came out unscathed but could have starting places for Evan Guessand and Wily Boly.
Besides Diallo, the Elephants also have Wilfried Zaha, Frank Kessie and Seko Fofana to rely on.
Meanwhile, Cameroon goal scorer Etta Eyong, who has already attracted interest from top European clubs, will lead the attack with Carlos Baleba manning the midfield.
In the same group, Gabon and Mozambique will seek to pick their first points or risk exiting the tournament at an early stage.
In group E, Riyad Mahrez and Algeria will look to qualify for the next round with a win over Burkina Faso, who also beat Equatorial Guinea in their opening match.
Sudan and Equatorial Guinea also lock horns, aiming to pick their first win of the competition after losses to Algeria and Burkina Fas,o respectively.
