Egypt meets D. R. Congo in round 2 of the Africa Cup of Nations. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 26th at Cairo International Stadium (Cairo)
In the opening match of the championship, Egypt beat Zimbabwe with a rather modest score (1-0). Actually, this is not the biggest score. As for the game, the Pharaohs dominated throughout the whole match, and only the unfortunate conversion of the tournament hosts and possibly excessive nervousness of Salah allowed Zimbabwe to lose with a difference of one goal.

On the contrary, Congo began with the defeat to Uganda. The Leopards were considered favorites in that match, which they wanted to demonstrate from the very beginning of the game. But disciplined Uganda scored far in the 14th minute after the set play. And it repeated this trick at the beginning of the second half and led the match to the victory.
Now the Congo must at least not lose in order to have some chance of getting out of the group. But will not be able to do it with such defensive players. Masuaku, Mpeko, Tisseran, Nekadio do not have the necessary speed and the technique to hold back the breakthroughs of fast and technical Trezeguet, Mohsen, Salah during the entire match... The victory will practically lead Egypt into the next round. Surely, the home team will be able to gain it. In the last 5 matches between these rivals, the Pharaohs won 4 times, and there was only a goalless draw in the last friendly game. Egypt has won the last 6 home games in a row. As for the last 10 away games of Congo, it managed to win only in a friendly match with Tanzania. In all cases, the tournament hosts must earn the next 3 points.
Prediction for the match: Egypt to win
