Prediction: 1-1
DR Congo
A spot in the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals will be at stake when Egypt and D.R. Congo take on each other at Stade Laurent Pokou on Sunday evening. The Egyptians have drawn each of their three group games and they face yet another tough challenge this weekend as key player Mohamed Salah has yet to overcome his injury. Trabzonspor midfielder Trezeguet is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in a 1-1 draw with Cape Verde.
The Leopards, on the other hand, shared the spoils with the likes of Zambia, Morocco, and Tanzania in Group F to set up a meeting with Egypt. Yet another close encounter is on the cards and, taking everything into account, we predict that the winner will be decided after extra-time or penalties. D.R. Congo midfielder Gael Kakuta limped off with injury in the last group game, with Omenuke Mfulu likely to replace him in the starting XI. Galatasaray ace Cedric Bakambu is pushing for a start as well.
Highlighted Team (Egypt):
Egypt are an African football team that plays their home games at Borg El Arab Stadium in Alexandria. Over the years Egypt have established themselves as the most successful national team in Africa and you should bear in mind that they won their seventh African Cup of Nations trophy in 2010.
The Pharaohs participated at the World Cup finals on two occasions (1934 and 1990) and they failed to make it to the knockout stages of the showpiece tournament. Egypt suffered a 4-2 loss to Hungary on their World Cup debut and it has to be noted that the African team scored no more than one goal at the 1990 FIFA World Cup.
Ahmed Hassan is the player with the most caps for the Egyptian national team (184), while Hossam Hassan is the team’s top scorer (68). The colour of Egypt’s home kit is red and white and the Pharaohs play their away games in white shits and black shorts.
