Africa Cup of Nations 2022 draw: Afcon quarter-final schedule, fixtures, TV coverage and predictions

Mohamed Salah's penalty against the Ivory Coast was decisive. Sadio Mane's goal against Cape Verde was fortuitous for Senegal. Both teams made it to the last eight. The tournament is entering its final stages over the next week.

Gambia, Cameroon, Burkina Faso, Tunisia, Egypt, Morocco, Senegal, Equatorial Guinea and Tunisia are the teams playing in the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations 2022. The games are being shown on Sky Sports or via the Sky Go app.

Burkina Faso reached the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations. Burkina Faso never qualified for the World Cup, but they reached a final in 2013 and finished third in 2017. President Roch Kabore was overthrown in a coup in Burkino Fasoo.

Burkinabe have a good team with players who can play in Europe. Edmond Tapsoba is expected to join Bayer Leverkusen soon. Bertrand Traore is their most likely scorer.

Burkina Faso have scored just once in each of their four matches. Tunisia will be their toughest opponent.

Gustavo Sangare was the star player of the Africa Cup of Nations. He plays for Quevilly in France's Ligue 2.

Cameroon are joint favourites to win the tournament. Vincent Aboubakar has scored double the number of goals of any other player at the competition. Comoros game brought tragedy with a crush that led to the loss of at least eight lives and left others with serious injuries.

Aboubakar is the overwhelming favourite to be the tournament's top goalscorer. If Cameroon win the Afcon final on 6 February, Aboubackar will join Roger Milla and Samuel Eto’o in the pantheon of heroic Cameroonian strikers.

Cameroon are yet to keep a clean sheet at Afcon. They have conceded once to all four opponents they have faced.

Aboubakar is the leader of the team, but Nouhou Tolo has been the standout player of this tournament. Nouhou moved to Seattle Sounders in MLS when he was a teenager.

Gambia are the surprise package of Afcon 2021. They were the lowest-ranked team when the competition began. Gambia beat Mauritania to secure second spot in Group F and upset Guinea in the last-16.

Musa Barrow is the star player of Gambia's team. Six of the players in Gambian squad play their football in Italy.

Gambia's progression through the Afcon tournament has been formulaic. Gambia sacrifice possession and look to maximise their opportunities in front of goal.

Yusupha Bobb has been the star player of the Africa Cup of Nations. He has played every minute of Gambia's last three matches. Bobbi plays for Serie C team Piacenza.

Tunisia have reached the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations for the fourth consecutive time. They beat Mali and Gambia in the group stage and then beat Nigeria in last-16. Burkina Faso are also in contention for a quarter final place.

Tunisia are one of only four teams in the tournament that have registered more shots on target per game than Tunisia.

Tunisia have only scored one goal in the whole tournament. Seifeddine Jaziri has struggled to score. Wahbi Khazri offers a threat down the left. Tunisia are unlikely to win the tournament without being more productive in their penalty area.

Montasser Taibi has been the star player of the tournament for Tunisia. He joined Rubin Kazan from Benevento last summer.

Morocco have been the strongest team at Afcon so far. Youssef En-Nesyri has finally scored and Sofiane Boufal is contributing goals. Morocco's game against Egypt could have legitimately been their final.

Morocco are playing a short passing game. They created 39 chances at Afcon so far, only five of which were from long balls.

Morocco's strikers have been quiet at this tournament. Their starting centre forwards have only managed nine shots between them all tournament and less than half of those have on target.

Selim Amallah has been the standout player of the Africa Cup of Nations. He ranks second in the squad for chances created, dribbles completed and tackles made.

Senegal are into the quarter-finals. They won their group despite scoring one goal and that a 97th minute penalty. Their opponents were reduced to nine men, including the dismissal of their first-choice goalkeeper. Mane was substituted after a horrible head injury in the last-16. He was smiling after he left the pitch.

Senegal have the second best defensive record in the tournament behind Morocco. They have Kalidou Koulibaly and Abdou Diallo in combination in front of the world's best goalkeeper. I predicted Senegal to win the competition in our bumper preview.

Senegal's finishing is their biggest weakness. They have had 35 shots from inside the penalty area but only two goals from open play. The top half of the draw is the place to be.

Boulaye Dia is the breakout star of the tournament. He joined Villarreal from Reims last summer. Dia impressed in the Uefa Super Cup against Chelsea in August.

Egypt have struggled to create clear cut chances and get Salah into space. They have also left him isolated and asked him to deal with direct balls over his head. If they were being generous, they would point out that they have faced Ivory Coast and Nigeria, two of the most impressive teams in the tournament.

Quieroz's team has been impressive since Kelechi Iheanacho's opener for Nigeria. They allowed Guinea-Bissau and Sudan to have four shots on target in both games, but kept clean sheets. Quierz's side dropped the pace to squeeze Ivorians just when it appeared they might seize advantage.

Morocco is the team with the fewest shots on goal in the tournament. Egypt's main weakness is that they have more weapons to hurt their opponents.

Omar Kamal is one of 22 home-based players in the Egypt squad. He has become an excellent right-back during this tournament.

Equatorial Guinea are the lowest-ranked team left in the tournament. They beat Algeria and Sierra Leone in their group stages. Their captain Emilio Nsue hasn't had a club since November. He is playing the Roger Milla role of stepping into the limelight.

Equatorial Guinea have a good strategy and they are sticking to it. They allowed 27 shots without conceding against Algeria and Mali.

Equatorial Guinea have only averaged three shots on target per game in the tournament. More than half of their shots have been taken from outside the penalty area. Equatorial Guineans have scored two goals in this tournament, one from a corner and another from free-kick routine and long-range finish.

Jesus Owono was the star of the tournament. He received his first senior international call-up at 17. Owano made his La Liga debut for Alaves two days before leaving for Afcon.
