Egypt vs Guinea Predictions & Tips

The Egypt players owe their fans a huge performance on Sunday as they look to move on from March’s World Cup qualification failure. Egypt lost on penalties to Senegal in the last qualifying round and as a result will miss the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar. Egypt’s star man Mohammed Salah has had his fair share of disappointment in recent weeks, missing out on both the Premier League and Champions League titles. With plenty to prove now, and a lot of frustration fuelling them I expect the hosts to take get their AFCON qualification campaign off to a winning start.

Guinea have struggled on the competitive scene

Guinea have won one of their last ten competitive matches and have their work cut out on Sunday when they travel to Cairo to take on one of Africa’s biggest hitters – Guinea’s last win on the competitive scene came against Malawi in January. Kaba Diawara’s side certainly aren’t of the free scoring nature, Guinea have fired a blank in six of their last nine outings and have found the net just once in their last four.

Hosts clean sheet looks likely

Prospects of a clean sheet for the hosts on Sunday look bright. Egypt have kept six clean sheets in their last eight matches and Ehab Galal will hope to rely on his back four to help secure a safe passage through the AFCON qualification stage. The visitors on Sunday are not the most prolific of sides and it may be worth siding with both teams scoring – no, in this one. Both teams have scored in one of Egypt’s last 11 matches.

Egypt to win and under 2.5 match goals will be the main selection for Sunday’s game at the Cairo International Stadium. The hosts have kept six clean sheets in their last eight matches and their opponents Guinea tend not to create much going forward. 2-0 to Egypt will be the correct score prediction for this one.
