Djibouti’s Egyptian coach Ahmed Koshari said that his team will do their utmost to secure a draw against Egypt when the two teams meet in Cairo on Sunday.

After guaranteeing their progress to the last phase of the World Cup qualifiers, Egypt are expected to have a walk in the park when they face bottom of the group Djibouti.

“Of course there is a massive gap of experience between my players and six-time African Champions Egypt, that’s why It’ll be great if we can comeback with a draw,” Koshari told FilGoal.com on Saturday.

The former Ahli man refuted reports suggesting he is confident of beating The Pharaohs.

“I never said we can win the game, all I’m hoping for is to avoid a large margin defeat.”

Koshari, who only took over the Djibouti post two weeks ago, said that the game will be a good preparation for his side ahead of their CECAFA Cup participation in 2009.

With nil points to their record after conceding 26 goals in five games, Djibouti have no hopes of whatsoever of reaching the qualification second phase group round.
