Cape Verde and Mauritania, two teams who surprised us during this 34th edition of the African Cup of Nations, will face each other today in the round of 16.

This match is scheduled for 5 p.m. (GMT), and will be played at the Stade Félix-Houphouët-Boigny.

Here is the starting XI of the two teams:

Cape Verde starting XI:

Vözinha, S.Moreira, Logan Costa, R. Lopes, Joao Paulino, Jamiro, Kevin Lenini, Deroy Duarte, R. Mendes, Bébé, Jovane Cabral.

Mauritania’s starting XI:

B. Niasse, H. Houbeib, L.Ba, K. Diaw, Souley, A. Koita, M. Bodda, O. Gassama, I. Keita, S. Amar, H. Tanjy.

Remember that Cape Verde is so far undefeated in the competition. And the task promises to be difficult, but not impossible for Amir Abdou’s men who demonstrated against Algeria that they were capable of facing adversity.
