Egypt and Mozambique will meet again in the CAF Africa Cup 1st round at the Stade Félix Houphouët-Boigny Stadium, Abidjan Sunday, January 14, 2024. Here’s the preview, h2h stats, predicted line-up, TV channel info, live streaming service providers and how to watch online.
The Egyptian national team, seven-time champions and runners-up from the previous edition, has shown impressive form recently. They are on a five-game unbeaten run in all competitions, including a 2-0 win over Tanzania in a friendly last week. With this record, they will surely enter the opening match of their campaign with high confidence.
On the other hand, the Mozambique national team returned to the group stage of the continental competition after a 14-year absence. They have never gone past the group stage in their four appearances at the main event and will certainly be looking to improve on that record. Mozambique have shown good form in their two friendlies earlier this month, beating Lesotho 2-0 and drawing 1-1 against Botswana.
Egypt and Mozambique are alongside four-time champions Ghana and Cape Verde in Group B. Egypt, also known as ‘The Pharaohs’, are strong favorites to finish as group toppers and will certainly be looking to start their campaign with a win.
In the history of meetings, Egypt and Mozambique have fought five times in competitive matches so far. The Pharaohs have a perfect record in this encounter, scoring nine goals. They last met in qualifying for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, with Egypt recording a 3-0 aggregate win across the two meetings.
Given Egypt’s impressive record in the Africa Cup of Nations so far and perfect record in five games against Mozambique, they are expected to record a comfortable win and the chances of a clean sheet also look good. Egypt has finished as runners-up in two of the last three editions of AFCON. They will be looking for redemption after losing to Senegal on penalties in the previous edition.
Rui Vitória’s side have also won 12 of their last 14 matches, including friendlies, and are strong favourites. They have kept clean sheets in their last three games and head coach Rui Vitória will surely expect another strong defensive performance from his side.
Liverpool star Mohamed Salah, who picked up the assist for Trézéguet in the friendly win over Tanzania, will be a key player in this match.
On the other hand, Mozambique have been in pretty good form heading into the opener of their campaign and managed to avoid defeat in their two pre-tournament friendlies. However, they have never opened their goal account against the 2021 runners-up.
