AFRICAN CUP OF NATIONS ..........


EGYPT- ANGOLA

Egypt can field their strongest possible side from the off tonight, with playmaker Mohamed Aboutrika and key striker Mohamed Zidan ready to start. This gives them so many more options and they should be far too strong for Angola, who can be pleased with their tournament so far. These two met in a warm up game, pre tournament, early last month, it ended 3-3 ,but the difference in class was clear. I also think that it is key, that two of Angola's top players, Flavio and Gilberto, earn their living in Egypt, playing for the biggest club team Al Ahly. Not saying that there will be anything funny , sure that both will do their best, but Al Ahly is one of the biggest clubs in Africa, maybe the biggest, with truly massive support and returning to Cairo, having put the national team out of this tournament, would not be my idea of a fun time.

5.5 points Egypt -1/2 ball 1.85 asian line.... now 1.80

Good Luck.
