Bafana Bafana are well-positioned to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations last 16, but they were not the only big winners at matchday 2 of the Africa Cup of Nations.<\/h4>\n
Many of the big guns went head to head, meaning that matchday 3 will see several mismatches between big teams and minnows. Now might be a good time to start looking at handicap bets in favour of the established sides, but there are also some underdogs who have caught the eye.<\/h4>\n

Group A – Egypt, Uganda, Zimbabwe & DR Congo<\/b><\/h4>\n

Matchday 2 review:<\/b><\/h4>\n
Mohamed Salah got off the mark for Egypt at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in their 2-0 win over DR Congo while Mahmoud ‘Tr\u00e9z\u00e9guet’ Hassan produced another standout performance. Zimbabwe impressed once more against Uganda with Khama Billiat in particular causing problems for the Cranes defence. However, Knowledge Musona’s horror miss proved costly for the Warriors and they had to settle for a point.<\/h4>\n

Matchday 3 preview:<\/b><\/h4>\n
Egypt and Uganda fight it out for top spot at 21:00 SAST on Sunday 30 June while Zimbabwe take on DR Congo at the same time. The Pharaohs are the only team with a guaranteed spot in the last 16 with Uganda well-placed to join them. Zimbabwe are currently the lowest ranked third-placed team and so victory is vital for the Warriors, who can still overtake the Cranes on goal difference.<\/h4>\n

Matchday 2 review:<\/b><\/h4>\n
Star-studded Senegal were stunned by the fearless Desert Foxes with Mohamed Youcef Bela\u00efli snatching the winner shortly after half-time. Meanwhile, Kenya came back from behind twice to see off Tanzania in a five-goal thriller thanks largely to Michael Olunga’s brace.<\/h4>\n

Matchday 3 preview:<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
Senegal and Kenya have both sealed their top three places but a definite last 16 berth is on the line when they face off at 21:00 on Monday. Neither side stands any chance of unseating Algeria, who will face Tanzania at the same time. The Desert Foxes are the only team to have officially wrapped up top spot in their group.<\/h4>\n
