Coach Sebastien Desabre said on cafonline.com: "It's a very important game for us. We are focused on having a good game and forgetting the first game result.

"We top the table now but we need to have a minimum of four points to qualify. Zimbabwe is a very good team."

Having lost their opening game to hosts Egypt 1-0, Zimbabwe really need three points to keep alive their hopes of progressing.

Their coach Sunday Chidzambwa said: "Against Egypt we didn't have many chances but we will try to do better this time. We lost against the home team and I think we had a good game.

"I told the players to forget about this match and start to correct our mistakes. We are not here to add numbers, we came to compete."
