DO OR DIE MATCH

Egypt must make up for their 1-0 defeat by Chad in N’Djamena in the first leg on Saturday. The winners will advance to a five four-team group stage; the final round of the qualifiers.

Failure to reach the final round of the qualifiers will be unthinkable for the Egyptian football-mad fans, who are counting on veteran Argentinean boss Hector Cuper to deliver after more than two decades of disappointments.

Team News:

Egypt are lacking full strength for the home match as four key players are missing due to injuries, including Mohamed Salah, Abdelshafi, Zamalek’s defender Ahmed Dwidar and striker Bassem Morsi.

“We will not call up new players as we have limited time ahead of the match. I have full confidence in the current squad,” Cuper told Al-Hayat TV station on Sunday.

“I am the one who is responsible for the first leg defeat. I am optimistic that we will recover and reach the group stage,” he added.
