The road to victories is to improve in the offensive sector.

Their defense has not been very strong, as they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored regularly, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches.
Togo misses their striker Emmanuel Adebayor. The team is in last position but still dreams of recovering and qualifying. He is going through a difficult time without winning, but he has played balanced matches, losing on details for a better result. He hopes to make the necessary adjustments to face an Egypt that is not going through a great phase.
