Egypt team manager Ihab Leheta believes the Africa Cup of Nations Group D will be cagey with each team having an equal chance of progressing to the knock out stage.
The Pharoahs face Mali in their opener before playing Uganda and Ghana in Port Gentil in their final Group match.
It has been tagged as the tournament's tightest Group with three teams from the same World Cup qualifying pool.
''It is the same group as in the World Cup qualifiers except Congo. All teams in Africa now are very strong,'' Leheta told cafonline.com
''We have not been participating in the last three editions and this is why we have to be in a good shape.
''It is very difficult to play the same teams in the World Cup qualifiers (Ghana and Uganda). On the other side, it is a good sign as the teams will get to know each other. Now it will be left to the coaches.''
