Following conclusion of second round group matches, the final matches in each group begin with groups A and B battling on Monday.
In group A, Mali face Comoros in a match either nation want to win to remain in the tournament.
The two are tied on a single point and the winner will qualify for the next stage.
Hosts Morocco will also need to avoid defeat against Zambia to confirm their place in the round of 16.
They are top of the standings with 4 points, followed closely by Zambia and Mali both tied on two points with Comoros on one.
In Group B, the Southern African derby between South Africa and Zimbabwe will be the main game of the day.
The Bafana Bafana lost to Egypt in their last outing 1-0 despite dominating for large parts of the game and are aware that Zimbabwe could end their campaign if they don’t pick a result.
The Warriors have one point but a win will put them ahead of their neighbours and join already qualified Egypt who lead the standings with maximum points.
Angola, bottom of the log with one point also still have a chance but like Zimbabwe, they must beat seven-time champions Egypt to go through.
Matches in each group will begin simultaneously with group B matches getting us underway.
