Egypt are in the driving seat in this Africa Cup of Nations qualifying group. Their two games so far have seen a 5-1 win in Chad and a 3-0 home win over Tanzania. Only the group winner is guaranteed a place in the finals so the pressure is really on Nigeria who trail Egypt by two points. They had a convincing 2-0 home win over Chad but could only manage a 0-0 draw in Tanzania. With the away trip to Egypt to come on March 29, Nigeria simply have to get three points here. That's by no means certain as the home side hasn't had the greatest of form over the past year with both Ivory Coast and Uganda getting wins in Nigeria in 2015. Egypt have already scored eight goals in two games with half of those coming from Basem Morsy who hit a hat-trick in Chad. They have good recent form with two wins over Libya and Burkina Faso. Egypt have good form against Nigeria too with no defeats in the last four games between the two sides. I think a chance can be taken on them getting a win here at good odds to really put them on their way to the finals.
