Unlike the Nigeria vs Morocco match, where we expect goals, this fixture points in a different direction. Our main pick here is Under 2.5 Goals.

We anticipate a tight, tactical battle between two disciplined sides. Senegal are well known for their strong defensive structure and patient build-up play, often taking their time on the ball before creating chances. Egypt, on the other hand, tend to defend deep and stay compact, occasionally applying high pressure to force mistakes, an approach that worked well against the young Ivory Coast side.

However, Senegal possess far more experience in midfield, with players like Pape Gueye, Idrissa Gueye, and Sarr providing control, composure, and the ability to avoid costly errors under pressure.
