Ivory Coast vs Burkina Faso: Preview
Ivory Coast have pressure on their shoulders as the knockout stages approach.
The reigning holders have eased into the last-16, but tougher tests are set to follow, starting with Burkina Faso on Tuesday.
Superstars Amad of Manchester United and captain Franck Kessie of Al-Ahli will be expected to provide vital influence in both midfield and attack.
Ivory Coast hold an imperious record against Burkina Faso, having only lost three of 20 previous meetings.

Burkina Faso can cause any side a problem on their day, as shown by their last meeting with their round-of-16 opponent.
But injuries have hit at a bad time, with goalkeeper Herve Koffi forced off at half-time during the 2-0 group-stage win over Sudan.
Replaced by Kilian Nikiema, the Angers SCO shot-stopper is a doubt for Tuesday's clash in Marrakesh.
Cyriaque Irie also remains a doubt for the tie after being substituted during the Stallions final group match against Sudan with a suspected knock.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Ivory Coast 2-0 Burkina Faso
The reigning holders should have too much for Burkina Faso and we expect a win for the 2023 champions.
