One of the most awaited matches in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in the CAF region will see African champions Senegal host seven time champions Egypt. One of these giants is set to miss Qatar 2022 and going into this game, Egypt has the slim advantage, having won 1-0 at home. Senegal have the potential to overturn this; they have the caliber of players who can do it and they will definitely be going for the kill. Their last two matches have both been against Egypt - the first was in the AFCON 2021 final, which they won on penalties. The loss to Egypt in their last game is Senegal’s only defeat in the last 14 matches. Their recent matches have been highlighted by low scores - three of the last five have produced under 2.5 goals. Each of their last four meetings with Egypt have also produced under 2.5 goals.

Egypt’s win over Senegal in Cairo marked their first victory in four matches against the west African nation. It was a perfect revenge for their loss in the 2021 AFCON final but a win here will be the sweetest as it will guarantee them a spot at the 2022 World Cup. For Egypt, even a draw will do, and we expect them to play with a solidly defensive strategy. Egypt haven't been scoring a lot of goals; in their last five, they’ve managed more than a goal in just one. Four of their last five matches have produced under 2.5 goals and going into this game, they haven’t lost in regular time in their last seven matches. In World Cup qualification, Egypt are unbeaten in their last 10 matches and scored in all of them but they have just one win in the last five away matches in World Cup qualification.
