Congo-Brazzaville will host Guinea-Bissau in their final 2017 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier at the Stade Municipal de Kintele in Brazzaville on Sunday.

The Red Devils of Congo have already failed to qualify for next year's AFCON finals after recording only one victory in five matches.

Pierre Lechantre's side are hoping to end their qualifying campaign with a victory and also finish second on the group standings.
Djurtus have already won group E and booked their place in next year's AFCON finals in Gabon. They will be making their debut appearance.
A win over Congo, will see Guinea-Bissau finish the qualifying campaign with 13 points having recorded four wins out of six games.
