Egypt vs Senegal Prediction 25 March 2022

A month and a half ago, Egypt and Senegal played each other in the final of the Africa Cup of Nations. Now they will measure their strength in the World Cup qualifier play-off.

The participants of the 2018 World Cup, Egypt performed well in the continental tournament, where in the final they turned out to be weaker than Senegal (0:1). Prior to that, the Pharaohs dealt with Sudan (1:0), Côte d'Ivoire (1:0), Morocco (2:1) and Cameroon (1:0) purely in class, demonstrating a pragmatic game model.

Bright football is also not expected from Senegal, which do not prevent them from winning trophies. As part of the African Cup, the Lions of Teranga got victories over Zimbabwe (1:0), Cape Verde (2:0), Equatorial Guinea (3:1), Burkina Faso (3:1) and Egypt (1:0), and also had a 0:0 draw with Guinea and 0:0 with Malawi.

Both teams are focused solely on the result, so we don’t expect spectacular football from them. In the first round of their duel, we will give a small advantage to the home team.
