Guinea vs Egypt Prediction: With the quality of both teams, a point apiece is possible here

On Wednesday, the National Elephants will square off against Egypt at the Stade de Marrakech Stadium. With two games left to wrap up the group phase, both teams are the favourites to qualify for next year’s AFCON tournament.

Guinea (2nd)

Last four games: LWWW

After a poor start against the Pharaohs, Guinea have won their last three matches. They secured a slim (1-0) victory at home against Malawi and followed it up with a (2-0) win against Ethiopia in Guinea. The National Elephants took a great stride in their attempt to qualify for their thirteenth AFCON appearance when they defeated Ethiopia (2-3) on the road. Guinea have been fantastic over their last three games and must now secure a point in their next two games to qualify for AFCON. They have picked up nine points from a possible twelve, scoring seven while conceding once.

Egypt (1st)

Last three games: WLWW

The Pharaohs have won three and lost once since the beginning of the qualifiers. Egypt returned to winning ways following their (2-0) loss away to Ethiopia. They defeated Malawi (2-0) at home, and the result was followed by an emphatic (0-4) on the road. The Pharaohs sit at the top of the log with nine points from a possible fifteen. They have won their previous five games in all competitions and stand a better chance of winning the group. Egypt are the favourite going into the match, boasting a squad full of talent and experience; they will be looking to dominate possession and create chances in the attacking third.

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous six meetings in all competitions, Egypt have won four and drawn twice. Their most recent meeting ended in a slim (1-0) victory for Egypt, who left it late in the 87th minute. Guinea are an organised side, and with the partnership of Saidou Sow and Mouctar Diakhaby at the back, we expect an even game. The Egyptians have kept three clean sheets in this round, but it will be difficult to shut out the attacking duo of Bayo and Serhou Guirassy. Both sides will be pleased with a point apiece for 2.88.

This is the most anticipated game in this group. Both sides have been remarkable since the commencement of this qualifier. With Moh Salah and Trezeguet up front for the Egyptians, it will be hard for the Guinean defence to keep them quiet. Both sides are capable of scoring; bet on BTTS for 2.00.

We expect both sides to settle for a halftime draw here for 2.00.

Good luck!
