AFCON 2015 Qualifiers: Group-by-Group Standings Before Matchday 6

AFCON 2015 Qualifiers – Final Day Set for High Drama as Six Tickets Remain

The 2015 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers reach their climax this Wednesday, with six qualification spots still to be decided — five for second-place finishers and one for the best third-placed team.

🔥 Key Group to Watch: Group E

The most suspenseful group is Group E, where:

• Ghana (8 pts) hosts Togo (6 pts) in Tamale — a draw is enough for the Black Stars.

• Uganda (7 pts) faces Guinea (7 pts) in Morocco — a draw sends the Cranes through, while Guinea must win.

No team has qualified or been eliminated in this group, making it the tightest race on the final day.

💥 Best Third-Place Race:

The single spot for the best third-placed team is hotly contested. These teams are in the running:

• Congo, DR Congo, Malawi (or Mali) – in better positions.

• Egypt, Mozambique, Angola – still in contention but less likely to clinch the spot.

• Sudan, Lesotho, Sierra Leone, Niger, and Botswana – already out of the running.
