There is no doubt pressure will be on Egypt’s Mohamed Salah when they face Guinea-Bissau in their second match of the Africa Cup of Nations tomorrow at Stade Omnisport Roumde at 9pm.
Salah failed to impress during the 0-1 defeat to Nigeria in his opening match on Tuesday,
Salah arrived in Cameroon fresh from 23 goals and nine assists in 26 appearances for his club, Liverpool this season, but the inform player was absent against the Super Eagles.
Salah was criticized on social media following that defeat as he could not repeat his heroics he showed at Liverpool.
Adding to his frustration on that evening, the 29-year-old only had one shot on target and will need to be better tomorrow if Egypt are to have any chance of winning the match.
A defeat or a draw could see them on the verge of elimination from the competition with a match to spare against Sudan next week.
Guinea-Bissau played to a goalless draw with Sudan in their opening match on Tuesday and will feel they have a chance of upsetting Egypt tomorrow.
They missed a penalty which cost them crucial points against Sudan and will look to pile more misery on Egypt.
With both teams needing a win, it promises to be an exciting affair.
