Nigeria, Cape Verde, Cameroon, Ivory Coast Set For Group Final Tickets As Equatorial Guinea Beat Tunisia To Throw Group B open By Omolagba Oluwayemi With Senegal, Morocco, Mali and Egypt the only countries to have booked their places in the final qualifying rounds for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, 14 national teams are to battle it out for the remaining seven spots after the completion of match day 5 BSNSports.com.ng reports. With Group E, F, I and H concluded, at least two teams in the remaining Groups will go head-to-head and toe to toe for the sole ticket to the next round. Group A In Group A, a resounding 4-0 win for Algeria against Djibouti on Friday helped them open a 2 point lead over closest rival, Burkina Faso who were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Niger. With just a game left, and just two points separating the top two teams, Algeria and Burkina Faso will go head-to-head for the sole ticket of the Group in a winner takes it all battle slated for Tuesday although a draw will favour the Algerians. Group B Definitely one of the most excited groups as we approach the final rounds of matches for this qualifying series. With 3 teams still namely; Tunisia, Equatorial Guinea and Zambia in contention for the 3rd qualifying rounds ticket, this group promises to generate a lot of talking points as we approach the last games especially with two of the teams in contention (Tunisia Zambia) set to go head-to-head on Tuesday. Tunisia on 10 points currently leads the group with Equatorial Guinea also on the same points (10) closely following. Zambia on 7 points as well stand a chance of snapping up the ticket but all hands are on deck as we await Tuesday. Group C Nigeria on Saturday defeated Liberia 2-0 to maintain a two points lead over 2nd place Cape Verde going into the final match day. Nigeria and Cape Verde will go head-to-head in Lagos on Tuesday for the sole ticket of the group. Although Nigeria looks favourite but tactical deficiencies in past matches have  shown that the Super Eagles can be beaten by even the smallest of countries in the continent even with their arrays of stars. Group D A real showdown it'll be in Cameroon on Tuesday as two African footballing powerhouses (Cameroon v Ivory Coast) will clash in what will be the biggest game of this qualifying series for the sole ticket of the 3rd qualifying series. With just a point between the two teams (Cote d'Ivoire 13; Cameroon 12), Cameroon will hope they can snatch the ticket on front of their fans while Cote d'Ivoire who holds a point advantage will target a draw which will see them progress Group G The City of Accra play host to Ghana vs South Africa's match in what will be one of the biggest game in recent times between both sides. The Ghanaians trailing South Africa by 3 points will target a resounding victory over their foes while the Nelson Mandela's boys needs just a draw to progress. Group J Benin Republic, Dr Congo and Tanzania are all in the running for the sole ticket of this group. Although Benin currently leads the group with 2 points, Dr Congo and Tanzania on 8 and 7 points respectively are breathing down their neck. Dr Congo and Benin Republic have their fates in their hands with both of them set to go head-to-head on Sunday evening, although the later will progress should the game ends in a draw, but for Tanzania to progress, they'll need some sorts of miracle to happen as they will have to beat Mozambique by a least an eight goal margin while hoping Dr Congo pips Benin by by a lone goal. A great finale show awaits us from the continent of Africa and with virtually all of the teams in contention for the final rounds ticket set to face-off against each other,
