Match Preview

Group G leaders Egypt, who garnered maximum six points from two games, host Zimbabwe, who lay at the bottom of the group, on Tuesday at an army-owned stadium in Alexandria.

The Pharaohs warmed up for the game with a 10-0 trashing Swaziland in a friendly game on Friday.

10-0 win gave Egypt morale boost ahead of Tuesday’s World Cup qualifier against Zimbabwe; Swaziland coach says he wasn’t surprised by the thrashing.

“The friendly against Swaziland achieved its goals, since it boosted the players’ confidence and raised their morale ahead of the anticipated clash with Zimbabwe,” Bradley told Egyptian Media after the match.

“The technical staff will focus on avoiding the mistakes that we made against Swaziland ahead of the World Cup qualifier,” he added.

The Zimbabwe senior men national soccer team continues to face injury woes ahead of their crunchy Brazil 2014 World Cup qualifier against Egypt away in Alexandria on 26 March 2013, with news that yet another striker, Simbarashe Sithole could miss the game following an injury this weekend.

Sithole, Supersport United’s main striker, was stretchered off during the Tshwane derby on Sunday after suffering what looked like a muscle injury, which is likely to rule him out for the March 26 encounter. His club beat his former club Sundowns 1-0 following a stunning long range volley from Senegalese defender Mor Diouf in the 88th minute.

Zimbabwe coach admits to the difficulty of his team’s World Cup qualifier against seven-time African champions Egypt on Tuesday.
