Former Ghana coach, Otto Addo, believes Egypt is the easiest opponent in the Black Stars group at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
The record seven-time winners of the competition are in Group B alongside Ghana, Cape Verde, and Mozambique.
The Black Stars will face Egypt in their second group game on Thursday, January 18.
Reacting to Ghana’s chances in Group B, Otto Addo said the Pharaohs are the easiest to play against.
“I think the easiest game may be against Egypt because their team is very well-balanced. They are the favourites in this game so it is easier to stand behind when people don’t expect too much from you,” he told GTV Sports Plus.
“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.”
Ghana is set to open their group stage campaign against Cape Verde on Sunday, January 14, 2024.
The Black Stars will then play against record champions Egypt in their second group match against Egypt in four days before wrapping up the group face against Mozambique on January 22.
