Former Ghana manager Otto Addo considers Egypt as the easiest team for his country to play against in the 2023 AFCON group stages.
The Pharaohs are set to take part in the 2023 AFCON this month as they have been drawn in Group B along with Ghana, Cape Verde, and Mozambique.
Egypt will open its campaign by facing Mozambique on January 14, the day Ghana faces Cape Verde before both giants come face to face four days later in matchday two.
Former Ghana boss and Borussia Dortmund assistant manager Otto Addo thinks that Ghana’s easiest group game will come against Egypt due to the advantage of the Black Stars being the underdogs.
“I think the easiest game may be against Egypt because their team is very well-balanced,” Otto Addo said in an interview with GTV Sports Plus.
“They are the favourites in this game, so it is easier to stand behind when people don’t expect too much from you.
“It’s easier than to play the so-called small countries which are football educated, know how to defend, and it will be very, very tough to break them down.”
The tournament is scheduled for January 13 kick off.
