Current form — Angola v. Egypt

The hosts hope to bounce back

It is difficult to point a finger at recent results for Angola, as they have performed according to their level. In their last 3 matches, Pedro Gonçalves’ side lost 1-0 to Libya before putting Gabon to the throne by claiming a 3-1 win. They lost the reverse fixture, though, 2-0 to Gabon.

The Pharaohs aim to extend winning streak

Egypt keep brushing aside all resistance, claiming yet another win to their collection last time out. In their last 3 matches, Carlos Queiroz’s side beat Liberia 2-0 before overcoming Libya 1-0. They cruised to another victory over the latter last time out as well by a 3-0 scoreline.

Angola v. Egypt — fixture history

The latest match between these teams was a tight encounter that saw Egypt nick a slender 1-0 victory.

Angola enter the match against Egypt with a 0-1-2 record in their previous 3 encounters in the World Cup. This amounts to a 0% winning ratio for Angola, with Egypt victorious in 67% of the last 3 encounters.

Man of the Moment

Egypt have an ample amount of goalscorers ready to rise to the occasion, with Mohamed Kafsha leading the way. The attacking midfielder has 3 goals to his name in 6 games, one better than the likes of Mohamed Salah and Mostafa Mohamed.

The same cannot be said for Angola, though. Nobody in the team has scored more than once in the past 6 matches. Considering the hosts have failed to score in 6 of their last 8 games in all competitions (AFCON & WC Qualifiers), they may struggle to hit the target again.
