Egypt Vs Cameroon
Opening match of the third day of the African Cup of nations will be one of the derby matches in the group stage. At Baba Yara stadium in Kumasa, Cameroon, one of the favourites for the title and the defender of the title Egypt will cross swords.
Last two African Cup Cameroon ended in the quarterfinals. Two years ago they were eliminated by Cote d'Ivorie in one of the longest penalty series ever seen in big championships. After all 22 players materialised their penalty shots, the tragic player was the attacker of Barcelona Etoo who missed 12th penalty for Lyons and thus made possible for Drogba and his teammates to move on to the finals. This season, many experts believe that Cameroon could mark even better result and maybe even win the title. Football federation tried to stimulate the players with a high money grant, coach Pfitser claims that the atmosphere in the team is excellent and that the players are eager to win this trophy. What especially rejoices the fans of Cameroon is good play of the main attacker of the team, Etoo who is one of the main candidates for the bets scorer of the championship.
Two years ago, with fantastic support of their fans Egypt reached their fifth title of the champion of Africa, They played in the cup 21 times and this is the most any team has played and they also win the most titles (5). This year they will have a difficult task - defending the title. Several teams are considered as favourites, and the Pharaohs are not in that group. Team is mostly made up of the players that are playing in home championship, and only four player (Said, Zidan, Shawky i Hassan) play in European leagues. Team haven't got a true leader and you get the impression that two years ago they triumphed thanks to the support of their fans and the luck that was on their side during the whole tournament. It is up to them to give their best against Cameroon and so refute these speculations. The attack will be without experienced attacker Mido who so far had a lot of trouble with his knee injury and that is why he is not on coach Shehat's list.
Cameroon are the favourites in this match. Atmosphere in the team is great, the players want to mark a significant result in this competition and that is why they will play to win from the start. Egypt are defending the title but evidently the team haven't got the leader who could bring them the sixth title in this competition. The attacker of the Lyons is in excellent shape and he will certainly find his way to the opposite net in this game. That is why i advise you to bet on home win, and you can also try betting on over 2.5 goals.
