Africa Cup of nation preliminaries in group 7 of the preliminaries as Egypt is desperate for a victory against group leaders South Africa.

Egypt is surprisingly on the last spot of the group with only one point g! athered in all 3 played and have an uphill battle ahead if they are to maintainchancesfor qualification.

Their 5 game victory streak in the Nile Basin tournament was brought to an abrupt spot by todays adversaries, Egypt losing 1-0 away.

South Africa, the hosts of last years World Cup final tournament, are top of Group 7 in the preliminaries, managing a total of 7 points in all 3 played.

Their slight margin victory against Egypt in March will have certainly given them a good morale for this one but nonetheless this will probably be their most difficult game so far.

My tip: Egypt to win ( under 2.5 goals )
