Cape Verde Isl. - Egypt: Form Analysis
The permutations for Group B coming into Match Day mean only a win will guarantee Egypt’s progression. The Pharaohs had to come from behind twice to draw with Ghana 2-2 in their second game of the competition. That was Egypt’s second draw after also coming from behind to draw Mozambique on Match Day 1. While they have maintained a good scoring run, Egypt’s biggest fail in this competition has been their defence. They’ve scored twice in each of their opening two games but also conceded as many. In a game they have to win to be sure of progressing, the North Africans will definitely have to tighten up at the back. They come here unbeaten in seven matches, which will be a good spring to their ambitions for this game and the competition. Having scored in each of their last 10 matches should also be a motivating factor for the Egyptians here.
Cape Verde are on their third appearance at AFCON and have already shown they have what it takes to tackle the giants. Wins over four-time champions Ghana then Mozambique most recently have punched their ticket to the next round. It is already their best ever campaign at the tournament, and Cape Verde can afford to dream of more. They’ll be under no pressure at all, thanks to great performances in the opening two games. For the first time in their AFCON history, Cape Verde have won back-to-back games. They can make it three, but facing an Egypt side with backs against the wall will not be an ideal platform. Cape Verde have already faced a North African opponent recently; in the run up to this tournament they lost 2-0 to Tunisia. That friendly loss remains their only one in five matches, a run in which they’ve also managed three clean sheets.

Cape Verde Isl. & Egypt Squad Analysis
The biggest news out of the Egyptian camp is that Liverpool forward Mo Salah will be out of at least two matches. The Pharaohs’ talisman suffered a cramped leg muscle in the Ghana game and will sit out this one. The Egyptian FA confirmed that Salah will fly out to Liverpool to continue with his treatment and may be back if Egypt progress. This may seem like a massive blow, but Egypt have shown they can rise from such setbacks. They actually played with more dynamism against Ghana after Salah’s exit. Additionally, they have Mostafa Mohamed and Mahmoud Hassan, who have scored a combined seven goals in the last five matches. With this duo in attack, Egypt should be able to do well without Salah. As for Cape Verde, we expect that key players will be rested, with this being just a formality for them. They’ll want fresh legs in the next stage and resting players will be the ideal scenario here. Former Manchester United man, Bebe, scored a great goal against Mozambique. He will be expected to start, for his experience and to build momentum for the next match. Having had five different scorers in their opening two games, Cape Verde will be just fine with a changed team.

Our Cape Verde Isl. vs Egypt Prediction
Egypt come into this game seeking a win more than Cape Verde so they’ll be expected to push more. Cape Verde haven't managed a win in three meetings with North African opposition. This game is therefore going to be another tricky affair. Given the stakes going into the game, our prediction for Cape Verde v Egypt is for Egypt to win.
Cape Verde Isl. vs Egypt - Other Interesting Predictions
Both teams to score
Egypt have lost their defensive mettle, as witnessed in their last two matches, and Cape Verde will want to take advantage of that. The Pharaohs will miss their talisman here but they know they can’t afford to not score. We thus expect them to put a lot of emphasis on getting goals, which may leave their backline exposed. Being a speedy side, Cape Verde are expected to exploit any openings and they’ve proven to be good in attack. Both sides scoring can also be a good pick here.
