Gabon opened their World Cup qualification campaign in Group F with a loss in North Africa, against Libya, and will be hoping to avoid a second when they host another North African nation, Egypt, on Match Day 2. Gabon have registered two straight losses going to this game and have three in the last four while keeping just one clean sheet in their last five. They have conceded two or more goals in three of their last five matches. In Libya, Gabon took the lead but their hosts came from down to win it with a last-minute goal. Gabon have now conceded six second half goals in their last five matches and have no win in the last three World Cup qualification matches. They’ve failed to score in seven of their last 10 World Cup qualification matches. The West Africans have also failed to score in their last three home matches in the competition.

Egypt head to this game on the back of an opening 1-0 win at home to Angola. They are now unbeaten in their last nine matches and have suffered just one loss in their last 15 matches, keeping 10 clean sheets in them. Egypt are unbeaten away in the last four matches, with two wins, two draws and two clean sheets in the process. Eight of their last nine goals, in the last four matches, have come in the first half and in World Cup qualifiers, they have seven wins in the last 10 matches. Egypt have two losses in that run and away from home in the qualifiers, they’ve failed to score in just three of the last 10.
