Guinea will host Egypt in Morocco when the two meet in the 2023 AFCON qualification game in Group D. The two nations are joint on nine points in the group and will both qualify with a draw. Going into this game, Guinea beat Ethiopia back-to-back to rise to second place. They will be gunning for their first win in seven meetings with Egypt. Guinea have suffered three losses before the turnaround in the matches against Ethiopia. They have just one clean sheet in their last five matches. While they haven't really done well in this fixture, Guinea have only failed to score once in six meetings with Egypt. In their first meeting in Egypt, Guinea lost 1-0.

Egyptian forward Mo Salah has been on a good run for Egypt, scoring four times in the last five matches. He scored in back-to-back matches against Guinea in 2012 and 2013 and 10 years later he remains a favorite to add to that. Apart from Salah, Egypt are just on a good run, with five straight wins ahead of this game. They have four clean sheets in five matches and playing in Morocco, they won’t be affected by the weather. Egypt had a remarkable recovery after their 2-0 loss to Ethiopia on Match Day 2 in this group. With a win here they will be close to finishing as group winners. They’ve only lost once in 15 matches in AFCON qualifiers.
