Football predictions, goalscorers and match previews

Cape Verde will host Egypt today, Tuesday at 19:00, in the second round of Group D of the Africa Cup. The two teams are ranked 3rd and 4th in the group, respectively, so a victory would be important for both teams in order to qualify for the knockout stages.

Cape Verde lost the first match of the group, 1-0 against Ethiopia, while Egypt drew with Nigeria (1-1). Cape Verde has reached the knockout stages of the Africa Cup of Nations twice before, in 2013 and 2015, while Egypt has won the competition a record seven times, most recently in 2010.

The two teams have met on seven previous occasions, with Egypt winning four times and Cape Verde twice. The last time the two teams met was in a friendly in 2014, which Egypt won 2-0.

Cape Verde:

- Cape Verde is ranked 73rd in the FIFA World Rankings, while Egypt is ranked 45th.

- Cape Verde has a squad that includes several players who play in European leagues, such as Ryan Mendes (Bordeaux), Garry Rodrigues (Olympiacos) and Jovane Cabral (Lazio).

- Cape Verde is likely to play in a 4-3-3 formation, with Rodrigues and Cabral leading the attack.

Egypt:

- Egypt is the most successful team in the history of the Africa Cup of Nations, with seven titles.

- Egypt has a squad that includes several players who play in the Premier League, such as Mohamed Salah (Liverpool), Mohamed Elneny (Arsenal) and Mahmoud Trezeguet (Aston Villa).

- Egypt is likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Salah leading the attack.

Prediction:

Egypt is the favorite to win this match, but Cape Verde is a dangerous team and could cause an upset. I predict that Egypt will win 2-1.
