Sports Mole previews a vital Group C clash between Egypt and New Zealand.

Egypt take on New Zealand in the vital group C clash on Sunday.

The two bottom teams in group C meet in a vital clash in which the loser will all but be knocked out of the Olympic football tournament.

Egypt come into the game off the back of an impressive performance against favourites Brazil, where they nearly pulled back a three-goal defecit.

New Zealand went down 1-0 to the unfancied Belarussians, but were unlucky in defeat.

Both sides could well line up as they did in their fixtures on Thursday.

Possible lineups:

Egpyt: Elshenawi; Alaa Eldin, Hegazi, Ahmed Fathi, Ramadan; Saleh Gomaa, Hossam Hassan, El Neny; Aboutrika, Mohsen, Emad Meteab

New Zealand: O'Keeffe; Hogg, Smith, Nelsen, Thomas; Payne, Barbarouses, McGlinchey, Smeltz, Wood, Rojas
