Egypt will take on Burkina Faso in their third group game of the World Cup qualifiers at the Cairo International Stadium on Thursday.
Egypt have won their first two matches of the group stage and are sitting at the top of the table. Burkina Faso are close behind, with four points from their first two matches.
Egypt's last outing in an official competition was in the quarter-final of the Africa Cup of Nations. They lost out on penalties against Congo and will be desperate to get back on track with a good run in the qualifiers.
