Elephants and Eagles battle it out for top spot in Group B
The Ivory Coast and Mali battle it out for top spot in Group B on Tuesday at the Accra Sports Stadium.
The Elephants' 4-1 over Benin last Friday booked their place in the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations, and they need just a point against Mali to secure top spot.
The top placed side in Group B will face Guinea in the quarter-finals, while finishing second sets up a tie against host nation Ghana.
Ivory Coast coach Gerard Gili is without Arsenal's Kolo Toure after the defender picked up a groin tear in the match versus Benin.
Mali, who need a point to guarantee qualification, are without suspended captain Mahamadou Diarra.
Mohamed Sissoko reportedly left the squad on Saturday to complete his transfer from Liverpool to Juventus but is expected to return to Ghana in time for Tuesday's encounter.
