Egypt U20 vs Senegal U20 Prediction: Host nation’s campaign could end without a win

The match between Egypt U20 and Senegal U20 will take place during the third round of matches at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations Under 20. The Egyptian team has no choice but to win this match; on the other hand, Senegal has already secured a spot in the knockout stage.

In this encounter, Egypt, the host nation, will be under a great deal of pressure because there is a possibility that they will be disqualified from the competition if they are unable to win this match. The Young Pharaohs' first match of the tournament was played against Mozambique, and it ended in a scoreless tie. They are now in third place on the Group A table as a result of a devastating defeat at the hands of Nigeria in a match that was decided by a score of 1-0. Despite this, they will continue to have faith that they will be able to secure the victory they require in order to qualify for the playoffs.

Senegal will be happy with the way they started their AFCON campaign with two wins in their first two matches against Mozambique and Nigeria. However, having already booked their spot in the playoffs, the Young Lions of Teranga only need a draw in this match to finish in the top spot in the group. The Senegal U20 team has now scored four goals while conceding none in the two matches it has played.

I anticipate a very close contest between the two teams, despite the fact that this is a very crucial match for each of them. If Nigeria suffers a loss in this match, Egypt will still have a chance to advance to the group stage if they win this match. On the other hand, if Senegal wins or draws this match, they would take the lead in Group A and claim first place in the table. Despite this, based on the skills and performances of both teams, I think Senegal U20 will win this match. It's safe to bet on a win or a tie for the Young Lions of Teranga. On the other hand, it is not impossible for the game to end in a tie after the allotted time has passed.
