Egypt have the best chance of winning the African Cup of Nations because they are superior to their competitors, Zambia captain Felix Katongo said on Wednesday. The Pharaohs booked a last-four berth after defeating Cameroon 3-1 on Monday to extend their unbeaten Nations Cup record to 17 games. They will face fierce rivals Algeria in the semi final on Thursday - their third meeting in the space of two months. "On current form, give it to Egypt," Zambia midfielder Katongo, whose team were eliminated from the tournament after losing to Nigeria on penalties in the quarter final, said when asked about who could win the title. "They are the most complete team in this tournament. A team that can come back against Nigeria and Cameroon must have a lot of character." If Egypt beat Algeria, they will face the winners of the other semi-final tie between Nigeria and Ghana. The six-time African champions eye an unprecedented third successive Nations Cup title.
