Egypt were 3-1 winners over Nigeria on January 12, and to be fair, it wasn’t just any kind of victory. It was a win that showed a lot of positivity from the Egyptian side, and it widely highlighted their desire to emerge as African champions for a third time in a row.
Now the Pharaohs are preparing to face Mozambique, but for sure, they have all it takes to have an optimistic mentality ahead of this match.
Emad Moteab, Ahmed Hassan, and Mohamed Gedo were the three goal scorers for Egypt in their first encounter in Angola, and Egypt will be hoping to get even more against the Mambas through the great help of their striker Mohamed Zidan, and their midfielder Hosni Abd Rabou.
In fact, from defense, to midfield, to front, the Pharaohs seem to have it all. On paper, they definitely have no problem going into their second contest of the tournament, unless their coach decides to make way for most of his players on the bench; which is obviously very unlikely.

Going to the side of Mozambique, this match should be their hardest in the group. Possibly, what could turn the match into a tough one for them is the fine shape in which the Pharaohs currently find theirselves in.
Mozambique drew 2-2 with Benin in their first game in Angola, but they had to blame theirselves for the score line, as they unintentionally denied theirselves a win through a Dario Khan own goal.
Consequently, the Mambas possess nothing more than a single point in their table, and they must defeat the Egyptians if they opt to climb in their group with the intention of securing a place in the quarter-finals of the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations.
Failing to get a constructive outcome in this challenge could result in the Mozambicans moving to the bottom of Group C, while the Pharaohs would eventually enjoy a great lead at the top.
