The Pharaohs have played excellent team football over the last few years and their dominance in the AFCON over the last four years is ample testimony of their talent. However they were unable to ensure qualification to the World Cup losing in an acrimonious play-off against Algeria.

The hurt from that loss will be eased to an extent if they can clinch their third straight African title. Manager Hassan Shehata will be hoping to do just that and his confidence will be boosted by the fact that Egypt have lost just 14 games since his tenure began in 2004. With star players like Mohammed Zidan at his disposal, Shehata will be confident of Egypt's chances in Angola. Other players to watch out for include right winger Ahmed Al Muhammadi.

Meanwhile Nigeria have qualified for the World Cup in South Africa, but are being increasingly viewed as a spent force in the continent. The Super Eagles have won two ACN titles and will be keen to add a third to that cabinet.

Coach Shuaibu Amodu will hope his team can surprise all concerned and will hope that star players like Osaze Odemwingie, Yakubu Aiyegbeni and Obafemi Martins play a lead role in the revival of Nigerian football.
