Egypt vs Senegal Prediction & Tips
Egypt v Senegal was the epilogue to the last African Cup of Nations: on 6 February this year, the two sides met in the final of Africa’s most important competition, and now they will play their second game in the World Cup qualifiers for Qatar 2022. Koulibaly and his team-mates will be looking to trip up Salah and co. once again, although the battle will be at least as intense and balanced as the one that took place just over a month ago. It ended in a goalless draw and the Senegalese only managed to win on penalties. The bookmakers are predicting a match that will be just as close, with the hosts being favourites, but probably only because of the home ground factor…
Yes, because the odds of 1, X or 2 in the final result are very similar, with only a slight preference for host Egypt…
Senegal won the final on penalties after a 0-0 draw which lasted until the 120th minute.
Egypt have conceded just two goals in their seven matches in the competition.
Only Nigeria in the opener (1-0) and Morocco in the quarter-finals (2-1 in extra time after a 1-1 draw) have pierced the Egyptian defence.
Also, Egypt ended the final against Senegal and the semi-final against Cameroon (beaten on penalties) in a draw with no goals scored or conceded.
The Egyptian defence has put up a wall in front of their goalkeeper, a wall that will be far from easy for Senegal to overcome. On the other hand, Salah and his teammates have not been very prolific lately either. We go for the Under 1.5 first half/Under 1.5 second half combo.
