Goals expected in this exciting AFCON tie

Egypt face South Africa in the second round of AFCON group matches, with both sides enjoying perfect starts after 2–1 victories, Egypt against Zimbabwe and South Africa against Angola.

As one of the tournament favourites, Egypt were expected to start strongly and did just that, posting an impressive xG of 2.93. Their attacking quality was on full display, with Premier League stars Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush both finding the net.

South Africa will have their work cut out, though they arrive in good form and can take confidence from a 3–1 win over Egypt earlier this year. Even so, this promises to be an open contest with plenty of attacking talent on show.

Goals look likely, making over 2.5 goals a strong angle. Egypt are still expected to come out on top and could edge it by a 3–1 scoreline.
