A clash between two unbeaten teams from Group A.

Guinea Bissau national football team are in Group A alongside Egypt and four others in the 2026 FIFA World Cup African qualifiers. They are in second place with five points. Post a 0-0 draw with Ethiopia, they now take on group leaders to try and reduce the gap up top.

Players to Watch

Mahmoud Trezeguet (Egypt)

Mahmoud Trezeguet is the man in the form of the Pharaohs. The 29-year-old winger scored a brace of goals last game against Burkina Faso which ultimately won them three points. With Mohamed Salah not providing goals for the national team recently, all eyes will be on Trezeguet.
