Egypt are coming off a 0-4 win over Botswana and will look to keep things running. Egypt scored twice in the first half in that encounter, with Trezeguet scoring a brace. However, Mohamed Salah found the back of the net in the 56th minute before a late-minute strike by Mostafa Fathi’s goal.

However, the veteran strike, Ryan Mendes, got his brace in the 75th minute of the game, converting Helio Varela’s pass well.

Expert Betting Tips
Mauritania have no chance in this game, looking at their performances into this game. While these two teams met only once, Egypt also ran into a riot in that game, and this should be the case here. Mauritania have not shown they can compete against a high-flying Egypt side, and I am backing Mohamed Salah’s side to win while scoring many goals.
