Africa Cup of Nations 2025: Angola-Egypt, the likely lineups

Egypt closes Group B of the African Cup of Nations by taking on Angola’Egypt. Kickoff at 5 p.m. at the Adrar in Agadir. On the second day, the Pharaohs have already secured passage to the round of 16 by narrowly beating South Africa. The situation is far more complicated for the Palancas Negras, held to a 1-1 draw by Zimbabwe and now obliged to win to hope for qualification.

Beaumelle should bet again on Nzola (Pisa) in attack, supported by Luvumbo (Cagliari, Fredy and Dala) in the three-quarter. Midfield dike formed by Beni and Show, defense headed by the Buatu-Carmo pair, from the bench Gaspar (Lecce).

Hassan may decide not to give up the big boys, confirming Salah and Marmoush from the first minute, with Trezeguet completing the trident. In defense, the disqualified Hany will be missing: Ashour is ready in his place.
