Egypt will be expected to seal their place in the last 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations as they face Sudan tonight. The game will kick off at 19:00 GMT at Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium in Yaounde.

The opening match defeat to Nigeria put Egypt on the back foot. However Mohamed Salah got his country back on the right track as the Pharaohs edged to a 1-0 win over Guinea-Bissau.

Victory over Sudan would send Egypt through as runners-up while a defeat would see their opponents leapfrog them and potentially lead to a calamitous group-stage exit.

Sudan may be huge underdogs. But their draw against Guinea-Bissau means a shock victory would almost certainly send them into the last 16.

Confirmed starting XI : Egypt vs Sudan as attached.
