Egypt is one of the strongest teams in Africa and gained the place in the third stage after eliminating Chad, 0-1, 4-0. The team also will play at Africa Cup of Nations as they won their group with 10 points gained in four matches, finishing above Nigeria. Egypt played eight matches in 2016, recording four wins, two draws and two defeats.
The opponents met only two head-to-heads in recent years. Both of these matches were confidently won by the Pharaohs, 4-0 and 3-0. We should expect the visiting side to continue their streak of positive results in matches with Congo and should be closer to a victory.
Prediction for the match: Egypt to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
