In the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations match, Egypt is set to face Angola, with Egypt as the favorite. Egypt has been in excellent form, winning 10 of their last 13 matches. Key players like Mohamed Salah could play a pivotal role, given his recent scoring record. Angola, struggling with only one win in their last 10 matches, faces a tough challenge. Historical encounters between the two show Egypt's dominance, with a record of four wins and three draws against Angola. Egypt's victory could see Angola knocked out of the tournament. Mohamed Salah is likely to score in this match.

Angola vs Egypt Predictions


Egypt are in top form and Angola are below their best. I see BTTS Yes in an Egypt win, thereby knocking Angola out of the tournament. 

Key Stats – Egypt Tipped to Win


  • Angola are winless in 9 of their last 10 competitive matches (6 draws, 3 losses)
  • Angola have seen BTTS Yes in 5 of their last 7 matches.
  • Egypt have won 10 of their last 13 matches (excludes Arab Cup).
  • Egypt have seen BTTS Yes in 5 of their last 7 matches.
  • Egypt's Mo Salah has scored 14 goals in his last 18 international appearances.

Head to Head – Egypt Dominates


These nations have met seven times since 1992. Egypt hold a 4-0 advantage with three draws.

They last met in a World Cup qualifier in 2021 as it finished in a 2-2 draw in Angola.

Angola Struggling – One win in 10 competitive matches


Angola topped their AFCON qualifying group but won just two of 10 World Cup qualifiers (six draws). They have one point from two matches in this competition so far. 

They played three friendlies coming into the tournament. A 2-0 home loss to Argentina was followed by a 3-2 win over Zambia and a 4-1 win vs Mozambique. 

Their AFCON opener saw a 2-1 loss to South Africa. Their second fixture saw a 1-0 lead surrendered in a 1-1 draw vs Zimbabwe as they allowed 17 shots.

Pharaohs’ Flying High - Egypt with Group B top spot secured


Egypt are in great form and have already sealed top spot in Group B at this AFCON. 

The Pharaohs played three friendlies before this tournament. They lost 2-0 to Uzbekistan, drew 1-1 vs Cabo Verde and beat Nigeria 2-1. 

Egypt beat Zimbabwe 2-1 in their AFCON opener with 35 shots and eight big chances created. With ten men, they beat South Africa 1-0 in their second match after a heroic defensive display.

Predicted Lineups & Team News


Angola (4-3-3): Hugo Marques; Mata, Carmo, Gaspar, Carneiro ; Maestro, Show, Fredy; Luvumbo, Mabululu, Milson.

Centre back Gaspar of Lecce in Serie A could return to the XI. Mabululu is expected to lead the line as Mbala Nzola has not impressed. 

Maestro is also set for a recall in midfield. He did well against South Africa, but lost his place against Zimbabwe.

Full Squad: 

Goalkeepers: Neblu (Primero Agosto), Hugo Marques (Petro de Luanda), Dominique (Etoile Carouge).
Defenders: Rui Modesto (Udinese), Eddie Afonso (Petro de Luanda), To Carneiro (AS FAR), Nurio Fortuna (Volos FC), Pedro Bondo (Famalicao), David Carmo (Real Oviedo), Buatu (Gil Vicente), Gaspar (Lecce), Clinton Mata (Lyon).
Midfielders: Beni Mukendi (Victoria SC), Show (Kocaelispor), Fredy (Bodrumspor), Maestro (Alanyaspor), Manuel Keliano (Akhmat Grozny), Mario Balburdia (Boluspor), Manuel Benson (Swansea City).

Egypt (4-3-3): Elshenawy; Rabia, Ibrahim, Abdelmaguid, Hamdi; Attia, Ashour, Fathy; Salah, Marmoush, Trezeguet.

Legendary coach Hossam Hassan may consider some rotation for this match, considering that top spot is secured.

Right back Mohamed Hany is suspended for this match. He was red-carded in the win over South Africa.

Full squad:

Goalkeepers: Mohamed El Shenawy (Al Ahly), Ahmed El Shenawy (Pyramids), Mostafa Shobeir (Al Ahly), Mohamed Sobhy (Zamalek).
Defenders: Mohamed Hany (Al Ahly), Ahmed Eid (Al Masry), Ramy Rabia (Al Ain), Khaled Sobhi (Al Masry), Yasser Ibrahim (Al Ahly), Mohamed Ismail (Zamalek), Hossam Abdelmaguid (Zamalek), Mohamed Hamdy (Pyramids), Ahmed Fatouh (Zamalek).
