Egypt, meanwhile, name their best XI – minus the hamstrung Mo Salah – with Mostafa Mohamed in from the off up front and Omar Marmoush, Emam Ashour and Marwan Attia also starting. Ahmed Hegazi starts in defence, as Mohamed Elneny misses out. 

Cape Verde vs Egypt: preview

The Cape Verde vs Egypt live stream today sees the top two sides in Group B face off with the Pharaohs knowing they must to win guarantee progress to the knockout stages. The Blue Sharks, meanwhile, have already sewn up top spot in the group and sit on six points from six.

Cape Verde have arguably been the team of AFCON 2023 so far. Garry Mendes Rodrigues' 92nd-minute winner in their opening fixture against Ghana set the bar high for the Blue Sharks, but it's a standard head coach Bubista's side have matched ever since. A 3-0 demolition of Mozambique confirmed this is no one-trick pony, with former Man United forward Bebe scoring a 40-yard free-kick that will live long in the memory of the West African archipelago. Qualification may already be confirmed for the last 16, but there's no chance of the islanders taking their foot off the gas.

Egypt, meanwhile, have no doubt what they must do – win. Shorn of Mo Salah's mesmeric talents until the semi-finals at least – assuming they get that far – after the Liverpool forward injured a hamstring in the 2-2 draw with Mozambique last time out, the Pharaohs must improve after picking up just two points thus far. Mostafa Mohamed has scored in both outings thus far and will be the man most likely to secure progress with the pressure on. Though a draw should secure a spot as one of four best third-placed teams, Rui Vitoria will want his team not to get on the front foot an do it the easy way.
