Cameroon vs Egypt: Prediction, kick off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results - AFCON preview

Mohamed Salah and Egypt take on hosts Cameroon in a huge Africa Cup of Nations semi-final tie this evening.

In many ways, this is the most heavyweight clash since Egypt’s opening fixture against Nigeria. With Cameroon in such good form (albeit not always producing overly convincing performances) on home soil, this is a fascinating fixture.

Having been handed a favourable path into the final four, Egypt offer Cameroon their greatest test yet. Though Carlos Queiroz’s side are not without their issues, the manner in which they’ve improved as the tournament has progressed has been impressive.

Here’s everything you need to know about tonight’s game. Senegal await in Sunday’s final in Yaounde after overcoming Burkina Faso 3-1 in the other last-four game last night.

Cameroon vs Egypt is scheduled for a 7pm GMT kick-off time tonight - Thursday February 3, 2022.
