Cape Verde vs Egypt Preview | AFCON 2023

PREDICTED LINE-UPS

Cape Verde

PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Vozinha; Moreira, Costa, Pico, Paulo; Duarte, Pina, Monteiro; Mendes, Bebe, Cabral

Egypt

PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): El Shenawy; Kamal, Hegazi, Abdolmonem, Hamdy; Fathy, Elneny; Marmoush, Ashour, Trezeguet; Mohamed

PREDICTION

Cape Verde's dominant 3-0 victory over Mozambique has solidified their top position in the group. Their impressive Africa Cup of Nations journey started with a 2-1 win against Ghana last week, securing their leadership regardless of the outcome in the upcoming match. Consequently, they might consider fielding a significantly rotated lineup on Monday. Egypt, potentially without Mohamed Salah, saw Trezeguet shine off the bench against Ghana, making them a sensible choice against a likely weakened Cape Verde side, especially considering Egypt's need for a victory.
