Team news & rosters
| Position | Cameroon roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Efala, Epassy, Omossola, A. Onana |
| Defenders | Ebosse, Moukoudi, Ngadeu-Ngadjui, Oyongo, Mbaizo, Fai, Castelletto, Onguene, Tolo |
| Midfielders | Zambo Anguissa, Gouet, Kunde, Hongla, J. Onana, Lea Siliki, Neyou |

Cameroon won't need to be told just what a triumph on home soil at Afcon would mean for the country - and they'll take heart from the fact that they have previous success when it comes to toppling bigger foes.
With a wealth of European-based talent at their disposal - like Karl Toko Ekambi, who has delivered some heroic performances already - they may enter this match with all the trump cards on the table.
Predicted Cameroon starting XI: A. Onana; Fai, Castelletto, Ngadeu-Ngadjui, Tolo; Hongla, Gouet, Zambo Anguissa, Ngamaleu; Toko Ekambi, Aboubakar.
| Position | Egypt roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | El Shenawy, Abou Gabal, Sobhy, Gad |
| Defenders | Abdelmonem, Kamal, Hegazi, Ashraf, El Fotouh, Hamdy, Alaa, Tawfik, Dawoud |
| Midfielders | El Solia, Fathy, Trezeguet, Ashour, Sobhi, Elneny, Lasheen, El Said, Sayed |
| Forwards | Sherif, Salah, Mohamed, Marmoush, Adel, Hamdy |
The sting of defeat five years ago still haunts Egypt, and their failure to deliver subsequently on home soil in the last edition remains a sticking point for Afcon's most successful nation ever.
But the chance to earn a spot of redemption looms large here - and amid a mostly domestic group of players, it will be up to the talisman of Liverpool's Mohamed Salah to help give them the edge.
Predicted Egypt starting XI: Abou Gabal; Kama;, Hegazi, Abdelmonem, El Fotouh; El Solia, Elneny, Ashraf; Salah, Mohamed, Marmoush.
