The fixture marks Round 3 of the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
Kick-off is set for 7:00 PM EAT / 5:00 PM local time at Stade Adrar.

Egypt will be looking to complete a perfect Group B campaign at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations when they face Angola in their final pool match at Stade Adrar on Monday evening.

With qualification already secured, the Pharaohs know that a draw will be enough to guarantee top spot, while Angola approach the contest knowing only victory will keep their knockout hopes alive.

Hossam Hassan’s side have been efficient rather than spectacular so far, recording back-to-back wins over Zimbabwe and South Africa to underline their tournament credentials.

The narrow victory over Bafana Bafana, achieved despite playing much of the second half with 10 men, highlighted Egypt’s tactical discipline and mental strength traits that have defined their AFCON success over the years.

Despite already booking a place in the last 16, Hassan has made it clear that Egypt will not take their foot off the pedal.

“We will play to win against Angola even after qualifying,”said Hassan.”This match is a valuable opportunity to prepare the team for the upcoming rounds, with full respect for Angola’s quality and status.”

“Angola are a strong and respected team. This game gives us the chance to fine-tune our performance. The players are showing the spirit and determination worthy of the Egypt national team and our constant goal of making the fans happy.”

However, with a congested schedule, changes are expected.

“I will introduce new faces during the game against Angola as it comes just 48 hours after today’s match,” Hassan added after the win over South Africa.

Angola sit third in the group and have no margin for error. Anything short of three points could see the Palancas Negras eliminated, depending on results elsewhere.

Their 1-1 draw with Zimbabwe showed resilience, but also exposed defensive vulnerabilities that Egypt will be eager to exploit.

Angola vs Egypt team news

Angola are expected to approach the match with intent, pushing numbers forward and relying on the physical presence of M’Bala Nzola and the creativity of Fredy between the lines.

That attacking ambition, however, could leave space in behind a risk against Egypt’s pace on the counter.

Egypt will be without Mohamed Hany, who is suspended following his red card against South Africa. Mohamed Salah is expected to start once again, although his minutes may be managed with the knockout rounds in mind.

Possible Angola XI:
Marques; Mata, Buatu, Carmo, Carneiro; Mukendi, Show; Benson, Fredy, Dala; Nzola

Possible Egypt XI:
El-Shenawy; Hamdi, Rabia, Fathy, Ibrahim, Ashour; Trezeguet, Attia, Zizo; Marmoush, Salah

Angola are expected to field their strongest available side, while Egypt’s depth allows Hassan to rotate without significantly weakening his team.

Angola vs Egypt head to head record

History strongly favours Egypt. The Pharaohs are unbeaten in their last seven meetings with Angola, a run that underlines their dominance in this fixture.

Angola have not defeated Egypt in a competitive match in over a decade, a psychological barrier they must overcome in this decisive encounter.

Egypt have not won the AFCON title in 16 years and have suffered last-16 exits in three of the last four editions, despite strong group-stage performances.

Angola, meanwhile, are winless in their last seven meetings with Egypt and face a stern test against one of the continent’s most experienced tournament sides.
