Egypt boast a very good record against Zimbabwe, both in home games and on the road.

They have lost just two times in the 14 overall encounters against their opening2019 African Cup of Nations opponents.

Zimbabwe have lost their all previous four trips to Egypt, scoring just once in the four games.

Likely to score:

For Egypt – Mohamed Salah, Marwan Mohsen, Mohamed Elneny
For Zimbabwe – Knowledge Musona, Khama Billiat

Captain and Vice-Captain options:

Mohamed Salah: Without a shadow of a doubt, Salah is the biggest star playing at the African Cup of Nations. Winning the Champions League with Liverpool, where he scored the opening goal from the penalty box, must have taken the monkey off his back, meaning he will head into the tournament high on confidence.

Dubbed as a one-season wonder, after his breakthrough season with Liverpool in the 2017-18 season, Salah proved everyone wrong when he won his 2nd consecutive Premier League Golden Boot award in 2019.

The pace of Khama Billiat and Knowledge Musona:

No doubt, Egypt are being seen as a favorite for the game, but this Zimbabwe team has come a long way in the last few years. Their players are now playing all over the world, in professional leagues.

In Khama Billiat and Knowledge Musona, the Warriors pose a big threat on the wings. The duo has the pace to punish any team on their day, and if Salah and Trezeguet don’t tailback, there could be too much space for Billiat and Musona to weave their magic.
