It's the river Nile derby when Egypt take on Sudan in the second round of Group (C). The pharoahs want to build on their victory over the lions in the first round, while Sudan dream of the miracle of beating both Egypt & Cameroon to grab the ticket to the quarter final.

Although, I was enthusiastic about the Sudanese team, but I must say I was not please of what I saw. Poor finishers is what you need to lose all effort exerted during the 90 minutes. With such performance, they cannot impose any threat to the Egyptians' defence.

Regarding teams news, Hassan returns back to the squad which will certainly add depth to the squad. However, I'm not sure whom will he replace. It seems to me that none of the starters against Cameroon can be replaced. Let's see how Shehata will act. On the other hand, the Sudancese coach Mazda has decided to rule out Al-Agab from the starting eleven after the awful performance of his in the first match.

Verdict: Two months ago, in the Arab tournament, Egypt managed to beat Sudan 6-1. Sudan was playing with the Olympic team though. I do not believe that such a scoreline could be repeated but a couple of goals or even three are definitely a great possibility.

Good Luck
