Egypt vs Benin: Preview
Egypt are looking to make it to the quarter-finals of the competition for the first time since 2019.
They were eliminated at the stage in the 2023 edition, losing on penalties to DR Congo in an 8-7 defeat.
So far, the Pharaohs have beaten Zimbabwe and South Africa, whilst also drawing 0-0 with Angola in their final group game.
Liverpool man Salah has two goals to his name already, with Manchester City man Omar Marmoush also netting in the 2-1 win on Matchday One against the Warriors.
Benin are looking to make a second-ever appearance in the quarter-finals, having done so for the first time back in 2019.
Having earned their spot in the knockout stages due to being one of the competitions best third-placed sides, it's one win and two defeats so far for the Cheetahs.
Having lost to DR Congo 1-0, Benin then beat Botswana by the same scoreline, before ending their group-stage endeavours with a 3-0 loss against Senegal.
Defender Yohan Roche scored their only goal at the competition against Botswana, and it will take a valiant effort to ensure a passage into the last eight.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Egypt 3-0 Benin
Benin are only here after beating the lowest-ranked side at the competition in Botswana, and Egypt should ease through on Monday.
