Egypt start the AFCON 2019 qualifiers campaign against North African neighbors Tunisia tonight in Rades .
Egypt coach Hector Cuper has shown confidence ahead of the match against Tunisia.
We are going to Tunisia to win. I trust my players enthusiasm and determination. We know that preparing players will not be easy because the season ended for European-based players, Cuper told a press conference on Sunday amid the start of the preparatory camp for the game.
We want to use the experience the players won from the last edition of the Africa Cup of Nations, he added.
