Egypt | WWDWDD 📈
Egypt prepare for this game coming off the back of a 0-0 Africa Cup of Nations drawn result against Senegal.
In that game, Egypt managed 43% possession and 7 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. On the other side, Senegal got 13 shots on goal with 8 on target. Senegal ran out winners after a 2-4 penalty shootout.
Their most recent results show that huge efforts have been put in by the Egypt rearguard. Egypt have been miserly, seeing the tally of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper over the course of their past six outings standing at 1.
Senegal | DDWWWD 📈
A run of steadfast performances by the Senegal defensive players has seen their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 2 from their last 6 clashes overall. In that period of time, their own forwards have managed to score 8. While that may be of interest, we must now wait to see whether that trend might persist in this game or not.
🇪🇬 Egypt XI: El-Shenawy; Abdelmoneim, Gaber, El Wensh, Fatouh; El Soulia, Fathy, Elneny; Salah, Mohamed, Trezeguet
🇸🇳 Senegal XI: E.Mendy; B.Sarr, Koulibaly, Diallo, Ciss; N.Mendy, Kouyaté, Gana Gueye; I.Sarr, Diedhiou, Sadio Mané
💭 Prediction
We are of the inclination to think that Senegal and Egypt could well both score and end up finding themselves in a fairly even game here.
A draw looks like a realistic possibility, but we’ll see what happens. We therefore think that it’s going to be a close game with a 1-1 draw at full-time.
