Match Details: 22nd December | Stade d'Agadir | AFCON | 20:00

The second day of AFCON gives us Egypt taking on Zimbabwe, a match up that hasn't taken place in over six years.

Egypt coming into this tournament are the second favourite behind Morocco and will be looking to start the tournament off with a bang to make a statement to the rest of the competition, on paper they start off with the easiest game of their group stage and will be wanting nothing less than a win

Zimbabwe missed out on qualifying to the last AFCON in 2023 and will be hoping to cause a big upset to start their tournament off. However their current form is horrid, they've failed to beat any African opponent in their last 10 games having won just once in their last 11, coming against Qatar

Key Betting Tip: Egypt to win @ 1.30 odds represents excellent value based on the tip provided by our team of in-house tipsters.

Key Players to Watch: Egypt vs Zimbabwe

Mohamed Salah (Egypt): Nicknamed the Egyptian King how could I not say him. He is Egypts top scorer of all time by 24 goals and I'm sure that will keep increasing, despite his poor league form I'm sure he'll be looking at this tournament as a way to get himself back on track and look to win some silverware at the same time

Marvelous Nakamba (Zimbabwe): The Veteran has been around the Zimbabwean set up for years, after making his debut for them all the way back in 2017 he;s played a total of 33 games for his country and despite injury struggles this season at Luton, he'll be hoping to make it out onto the pitch for this tournament
