Angola will face off against Egypt at Adrar Stadium in the Africa Cup of Nations on Monday. This one is far more important for Angola than it is for their opponents, as Egypt have already booked their place in the next round.
Angola vs Egypt Preview
Angola salvaged one point against Zimbabwe on matchday two after losing their opening game 2-1 to South Africa. They sit third in Group B, with their chances of progress hanging by a thread. If South Africa prevail over Zimbabwe, Angola will still be unable to make the top two spots in the group even if they beat Egypt.
Palancas Negras would, however, vie for a possible knockout stage place based on their ranking after the final matchday of the group. But they must claim a good outcome against Egypt to rank high enough in the third-placed teams' table. A defeat against Egypt would mean an outright elimination of Angola from the tournament.
Egypt got the better of South Africa 1-0 on matchday two to seal their place in the round of 16. It was their second win in this tournament and third in three matches. It’s unclear whether Egypt will deem the game against Angola as a dead rubber. They will probably want to keep their place at the top of Group B in view of meeting a second-placed team.
The Pharaohs, the most successful team at the AFCON with seven titles, last won the competition in 2010. In the previous edition held in Cote d’Ivoire, they crashed out in the round of 16. Egypt are undefeated against Angola in the sides’ last seven meetings in all competitions.
