Egypt - DR Congo: Form Analysis
The group stages of the Africa Cup of Nations delivered a fair few surprises, and both these sides have found themselves in the last 16, yet neither have won a match in the competition as yet. Egypt were heavily fancied to ease to victory in Group B, but they were far from convincing in the group stages, managing three consecutive 2-2 draws. The first was against Mozambique in a match that nobody gave The Mambas a chance in. That was followed by the draw against Ghana before a frantic end to match three against Cape Verde, which saw two goals scored in stoppage time. While their defence has proven to be shaky in this competition, the Pharaohs are still unbeaten in their last eight matches in all competitions and have scored two or more goals in each of their last six.
Meanwhile, it was a very similar group stage for DR Congo as they got through with three draws as well. They played out a 1-1 draw in their opening match against Zambia and held the Moroccans to the same scoreline in match two thanks to a crucial goal by Silas Katompa Mvumpa, which turned out to be the only points the Atlas Lions dropped in the tournament so far. The Leopards then played out a stalemate against Tanzania in the final group-stage match, which saw them knock Zambia and Tanzania out of the competition. However, DR Congo have now failed to win any of their last six matches in all competitions and have only won once in their last ten games dating back to September last year. In addition, they have failed to beat this opponent in their last six attempts, losing on five occasions and drawing once.

Egypt & DR Congo Squad Analysis
Mohamed Salah is expected to miss the remainder of the tournament due to an injury he sustained against Ghana. However, the Pharaohs were handed another injury blow in midweek when Emam Ashour suffered a concussion in training. Mohamed El-Shennawy is also ruled out of this match after coming off injured in the final group-stage match against Cape Verde last week.
For DR Congo, centre-back Henock Inonga was not part of the team for their final group-stage match against Tanzania due to a head injury, and he remains a doubt for now, though he will likely be reassessed before the match. Cedric Bakambu could return to the top end of the pitch here in an effort to improve The Leopards' attack, which struggled to create many clear-cut chances last time out.
