Congo and Egypt face off in the CAF World Cup qualifiers on Sunday.

Egypt is widely seen as a contender to win this group. However, the team will have to deal with Ghana, the team that eliminated it from the World Cup four years ago. In a two-legged playoff, Egypt fell behind 6-1 in the first leg and wound up losing 7-3 across both legs.

Egypt has only had two World Cup appearances in its history. The nation was represented at the 1934 edition where it finished with one loss. The nation did not qualify for the tournament again until 1990 in Italy. In that tournament, the country drew two matches and lost one as it was eliminated in the group stage.

Congo has never qualified for the World Cup finals.

Only one team from each group manages to qualify for the showpiece in Russia in 2018.

Who Wins? Prediction

If Egypt plans to make a run at winning the group, this is a must-win game. Look for the side to win 2-0 in Brazzaville.
