Nigeria vs Egypt Prediction & Tips
Debut match for Nigeria and Egypt on the first day of Group D of the African Cup scheduled at the Stade Omnisport Roumdé Adjia in Garoua. Nigeria check their fourth Africa Cup of Nations trophy, but face a decidedly daunting task in their opening round Among others, Victor Osimhen, William Troost-Ekong and Leon Balogun are out injured while the men to keep an eye on Gernot Rohr’s side will be Leicester City forward Kelechi Iheanacho and Everton winger Alex Iwobi. The Pharaohs, on the other hand, continue to rely on Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah, who has scored 45 goals in 74 appearances for the national team. Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny will also be a valuable contributor, while imposing center-back Ahmed Hegazy should be the key to solidifying the Egyptian rearguard. Therefore, we are facing a challenge that promises to be very interesting between those teams that last met in a friendly match in 2019 when Nigeria won 1-0.
There have been 10 Under 2.5s in the last 12 direct matches.
Nigeria recorded 4 Under 2.5 in the last 4 games across all competitions.
Egypt recorded 4 Under 2.5 in the last 4 matches across all competitions.
Nigeria penalized by the absence of its most important striker, Victor Osimhen of Napoli.
The first game of an international competition that has only three games in the group stage can be tricky and as such we believe that the two teams may not find themselves in line with much of the latest previous and most recent releases across all competitions.
