Egypt vs Benin – 2010 Africa Cup of Nations Match Preview
The defending African champions and Group C leaders Egypt will face the Squirrels of Benin at the Estadio Nacional de OMBAKA in Benguela at 16:00 GMT.
This game and the Nigeria vs Mozambique encounter will both be played simultaneously.
Yet, having already booked tickets for the next round, the Egyptians are indubitably the side with less pressure among their three other contenders in their group.
Egypt
Egypt top their table with a maximum of 6 points out of two games, and they are already assured of a place in the last 8 stage of the tournament.
They will eventually be fighting Benin with the option of controlling the future of Group C's three other contenders, based on the fact that their final group stage encounter might decide who – among their group – will join them in the quarter-finals.

Nigeria Analyses
Nigeria are currently at the bottom of their table without a single point, following their disappointing 3-1 loss to Egypt on January 12. The Nigerians have their group’s poorest record so far in terms of goals scored, due to the fact they have only been able to place the ball at the back of the net once.

Benin Team Profile - 2010 Africa Cup of Nations
Benin – the country, the football
The Republic of Benin, a West African country officially recognized by the name of Benin, is the neighboring territory of Togo, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, and Niger.
It has a small area of just about 112,622 km2, with a population estimated to be around 8,935,000 people.
These days, football is said to be one of Benin’s most interesting sports; however, there is no doubt their national football team Les Écureuils (meaning The Squirrels in English), are lacking of success.
Benin have qualified for the Africa Cup of Nations only twice in their history – excluding their qualification for the 2010 edition in Angola – but unfortunately, both occasions turned out to be negative for them, as Les Écureuils were unable to reach the quarterfinals stage.
