Rwanda, currently third in Group D, trails second-placed Benin by a single point and leaders Nigeria by five points. To boost their chances of qualifying for the AFCON in Morocco, they must win both of their remaining matches. Additionally, they will be hoping for a Nigerian victory over Benin in Ivory Coast.

The East African nation last qualified for the AFCON in 2004 and lost out in the group phase.
