"Now Egypt have a bigger motive to defeat Algeria, especially that we will host the game," Sedki told FilGoal.com.

"Now I think that we are in a better position than Algeria to qualify for the World Cup."

Algeria have 13 points, three ahead of second-placed Egypt with one match remaining.

They also boast a four-goal advantage over the Pharaohs, whom the Desert Foxes face at Cairo Stadium in their last game.

A 3-0 victory for Egypt will see them progress to the World Cup due to a better goal difference.

If Egypt beat Algeria by a two-goal margin, either a draw or a play-off game will determine the group winners because they will become equal in goal difference, goals scored and head-to-head record.

Algeria need to win, draw or lose by a one-goal margin to ensure they will become one of Africa's representatives at the most important FIFA tournament.

Pressure

Egypt beat Zambia 1-0 away on Saturday to keep alive their qualification hopes.

Sedki believes the African champions' vital victory added more pressure on the Algerians' shoulders ahead of their encounter with Rwanda.

"The ball is in our court now, and I'm convinced that we can realize our dream," he added.
