Angola will fight for survival when they meet Egypt in their final Group B match at the Adrar Stadium in Agadir on Monday evening. Egypt have already secured qualification after winning their first two games, while Angola need a victory to advance.
The Palancas Negras sit bottom of the group with one point following a 2-1 loss to South Africa and a 1-1 draw with Zimbabwe. Poor finishing has hurt Angola, and they now face the Pharoahs for the first time needing a competitive win.
Egypt, seven-time AFCON champions, arrive confident after back-to-back wins, including a 1-0 victory over South Africa despite playing with ten men. Angola have never beaten Egypt in seven meetings, drawing three and losing four, making the task even harder.
