What is at stake for Egypt vs. Benin?

Egypt will be eager to avoid a repeat of their shock round of 16 exit in the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations when they were defeated on penalties by DR Congo. 

The Pharaohs will certainly be the favourites to avoid such a surprise result, especially given Benin only narrowly made it into the round of 16 after picking up just three points in the group stage. 

Benin, appearing in just their fourth-ever AFCON, claimed a 1-0 win over Botswana - marking their first ever victory in an AFCON competition - either side of defeats to Senegal and DR Congo.

While they will be hopeful of extending their best-ever run in the competition, they are undoubtedly the underdogs against an Egypt side expected to journey deep into the tournament.
