Pharaohs Hunt Eighth Title: Can Salah's Egypt Overwhelm Historic Benin in Agadir Knockout? ⚔️
Stade Adrar in Agadir hosts a Round of 16 clash as seven-time champions Egypt face surprise package Benin. The Pharaohs topped Group B unbeaten, showing defensive resilience but needing more cutting edge. The Cheetahs reached knockouts for only the second time – with their first-ever AFCON win – but face a massive step up against Salah's star-studded side. Egypt dominate H2H and look for a comfortable quarter-final spot.

Current Form – Pharaohs Unbeaten, Cheetahs Historic but Limited
Egypt
Topped Group B (7 pts): Wins over Zimbabwe (2-1, Salah winner) & South Africa (1-0), draw vs Angola (0-0, rotated squad)
Defensive solid: Few chances conceded; Salah/Marmoush threats
Full strength expected: Salah rested last game, ready to shine
Benin
Historic progression: 1-0 win over Botswana (first-ever AFCON victory), but losses to DR Congo (0-1) & Senegal (0-3)
Blunt attack: Just 1 goal scored; Mounié/Olaitan key but limited
Motivation: Quarter-final dream, but massive underdogs
Head-to-Head: Pharaohs Dominant
Only prior AFCON meeting: Egypt 2-0 Benin (2010 group stage). Egypt unbeaten in last 4 overall vs Benin.
Tactical Breakdown
Hassan's Egypt control possession, Salah/Marmoush wings unlocking Trezeguet/Zizo – clinical edge expected. Rohr's Benin bunker compact, counter via Mounié/Tosin – historic grit but quality gap huge.
The Killer Stat for Egypt Win
Egypt unbeaten group stage; Benin never beaten top-10 ranked side at AFCON finals.
Final Prediction
Egypt 2–0 Benin
Salah curls opener, Marmoush seals late – clean sheet, Pharaohs to quarters comfortably.
