The 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign reaches its penultimate round. Morocco are the first team to book a place in Gabon apart from the hosts, but expect a number of teams to join them after this round. 

The schedule

THURSDAY 02 - Seychelles 0-2 Algeria

This win means Algeria have booked a place in next year’s Africa Cup of Nations.

FRIDAY JUNE 03 - Djibouti vs Tunisia, Mauritania vs Cameroon, Libya vs Morocco

Mauritania are set to for what has been billed as one of the most important fixture's in their history, when they host Cameroon on Friday.  Les Mourabitones are two wins away from qualifying for what will be their first ever Afcon tournament. 

The desert nation sit one point behind group M leader Cameroon after four rounds of fixtures, and know that back-to-back wins over the Indomitable Lions and South Africa will seal their place at next year's showpiece in Gabon. 

Mauritania will be counting on Moulaye Ahmed for inspiration, the attacker scored in home wins over Bafana Bafana and Gambia. 

They, though, will have to do without star player Guidileye Diallo for the clash. The midfielder has failed to arrive in the Mauritanian capital. 

Two successive draws has rooted Cameroon to the top of the standings. The Indomitable Lions, under the guidance of Hugo Broos, have lacked a cutting edge, but a narrow 3-2 defeat to France at the start of the week will serve as a real confidence booster. 

Vincent Aboubakar and Maxim Choupo-Moting were on the score sheet for the four time Afcon champions. 

The reverse fixture in Yaoundé last June ended in a narrow 1-0 win for Cameroon. 

SATURDAY JUNE 04 - Burundi vs Senegal, Rwanda vs Mozambique, Sao Tome vs Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau vs Zambia, Tanzania vs Egypt, Namibia vs Niger, Botswana vs Uganda, Sierra Leone vs Sudan, South Sudan vs Mali, Gambia vs South Africa, Cote d\'Ivoire vs Gabon,

SUNDAY JUNE 05 - Liberia vs Togo, Madagascar vs Congo DR, Swaziland vs Guinea, Comoros vs Burkina Faso, Kenya vs Congo, Central African Republic vs Angola, Mauritius vs Ghana, Lesotho vs Ethiopia, Zimbabwe vs Malawi, Benin vs Equatorial Guinea
