Egypt vs Senegal Preview
In a repeat of the 2022 AFCON final, this match should be as tight as that one was. Both sides are extremely strong defensively but also have great attacking players. My best bet is for Senegal to get a draw in Egypt.

- Egypt have drawn their last 4 matches in 90 minutes (AFCON).
- Senegal have drawn 3 of their last 6 matches (AFCON).

Head to Head
In their eight matches against each other, Senegal hold a 4-3 advantage with one draw. This is a repeat of the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations final where Senegal won on penalties following a 0-0 draw.
Egypt Form
Egypt were not among the favourites to win the 2022 AFCON but came within a whisker of winning the title. They surprised many with their passage to the final, but then lost on penalties to Senegal.
The Egyptians relied heavily on their defence during the tournament where they conceded just two goals in seven matches. Three of their last four matches ended in 0-0 draws, quite surprising given Mo Salah played in all those matches.
After getting through the group stage with two 1-0 wins over Guinea-Bissau and Sudan, Egypt beat Ivory Coast on penalties following a 0-0 draw. Two more penalty shootouts sucesses followed against Morocco (1-1) and Cameroon (0-0) before falling short in the final.
Egypt Squad
Ahmed Hegazi has been left out of the Egypt squad for these World Cup qualifiers. Mohamed Abdelmonem is expected to start at centre-back.
Goalkeepers: Mohamed El Shenawy, Mohamed Abou Gabal, Mohamed Sobhy
Defenders: Ayman Ashraf, Omar Gaber, Mahmoud El Wensh, Mahmoud Alaa, Omar Kamal, Mohamed Abdel Monem,Yasser Ibrahim
Midfielders: Mohamed Elneny, Amr El Solia, Hamdy Fathy, Mohamed Magdy, Nabil Emad, Emam Ashour
Forward: Mohamed Salah, Trézéguet, Zizo, Mostafa Mohamed, Marwan Hamdy, Omar Marmoush
Senegal Form
Senegal went into the 2022 African Cup of Nations as favourites for the title and ended up winning the tournament. They beat Egypt on penalties in the final.
Initially Senegal struggled, winning 1-0 against Zimbabwe but then drew 0-0 against Guinea and Malawi. In the last 16 they beat Cape Verde 2-0 before seeing off Equatorial Guinea 3-1 in the quarters.
A 3-1 semi-final victory over Burkina Faso was probably Senegal’s best performance. All the goals came in the final 20 minutes of the match but Senegal always looked the likely winners.
Senegal Team News
Aliou Cisse looks increasingly likely to start with the same side that began the AFCON final.
Goalkeepers: Édouard Mendy, Bingourou Kamara, Alioune Badara Faty

These two sides are very evenly matched, as we all saw in the Africa Cup of Nations final a couple of months ago. I expect another draw in this one.
