Egypt vs Djibouti Predictions

This should be a straightforward victory for Egypt at home. I’m backing the hosts to rack up a handful of goals without conceding.

Egypt have won 9 of their last 11 matches.
Egypt have won to nil in 7 of their last 11 matches.
Egypt have won both previous matches against Djibouti 4-0.
Egypt are unbeaten in 10 of their last 11 matches.
Djibouti have lost 13 of their last 15 matches.

Head to Head

Egypt and Djibouti have met twice before, both during the World Cup qualifiers in 2008. Egypt won 4-0 home and away.

Egypt Form

Egypt come into this qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in superb form. Across all competitions, they have won nine of their last 11 and lost just once.

Despite their superiority over many teams, this is not a group to be taken lightly so Egypt will need to get off to a winning start. Burkina Faso will be on their heels the whole way one would imagine.

In September this year Egypt suffered a 3-1 friendly defeat to Tunisia, but that has been their only slip in 11 games. Since then, they’ve beaten Zambia 1-0 and drew 1-1 against Algeria at home.

Egypt Injuries & Team News

The Egyptian squad is littered with talent across the board from some of the top leagues. Mohamed Salah is their key player. He has scored over 50 goals for his country already and has not yet reached 100 appearances.

Djibouti Form

Djibouti will struggle to get results in the group phase of the World Cup qualification, and they couldn’t have hoped for a tougher start. Away in Egypt, one would feel it will be about trying to contain the hosts.

Since June 2021, Djibouti have played 15 games in which they have managed just two wins – against Burundi on penalties and in their last game against Pakistan. They have lost the other 13 which has included an 8-0 drubbing in Algeria and a 7-2 loss to Niger.

Djibouti do not have any big names to speak of. Their squad is largely made up of players scattered around the African continent with a few from smaller leagues around the world.

Verdict

Egypt v Djibouti

Egypt should see this one out comfortably. I am backing over 3.5 goals with an Egypt 4-0 win.
