Egypt targets historic win over Cape Verde

Egypt seeking a historic win vs. Cape Verde in 2023 AFCON qualifier

Egypt aims for its first-ever competitive victory over Cape Verde in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers

Egypt will be seeking to make history when they face Cape Verde in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers. The Pharaohs have never beaten Cape Verde in a competitive match. Egypt and Cape Verde have met twice before, both in friendlies, with each side winning once. Egypt won 2-1 in 2014, while Cape Verde won 2-0 in 2021.

Egypt will be confident of victory, as they are the higher-ranked team and have a number of star players, including Mohamed Salah and Mohamed Elneny. However, Cape Verde is a tough opponent, and they will be looking to cause an upset. The match will be played on June 14, 2023, at the Cairo International Stadium.

A win for Egypt would be a major boost to their hopes of qualifying for the 2023 AFCON. The Pharaohs are currently top of Group D, with four points from two matches. Cape Verde is second with three points from two matches. A win would also give Egypt a psychological edge over Cape Verde, who are one of their main rivals for qualification.

Egypt coach Carlos Queiroz will be hoping that his team can put in a strong performance and secure a historic victory. The Pharaohs have a good record at home, and they will be confident of beating Cape Verde in front of their own fans.

Cape Verde coach Bubista will be hoping that his team can cause an upset and beat Egypt. The Blue Sharks are a well-organized team, and they will be hoping to exploit any weaknesses in the Egyptian defense.

The match between Egypt and Cape Verde is sure to be an exciting one. Both teams will be looking to secure a victory, and the match could have a major impact on the qualification race for the 2023 AFCON.
