Egypt vs Ghana Prediction & Match Preview

Egypt’s emphasis will now move onto the second of their group B encounter, which is expected to take place against Ghana at Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium. Egypt, owing to their influential captain’s 97th minute injury time penalty, came back from 2-1 down to draw the match 2-2.

Egypt’s recent performances, despite the draw, have proved that they are in fantastic shape and playing some wonderful football, as seen by the fact that they have lost only once since June 2022, while also possessing a strong win record.

Rui Vitoria’s team has also been scoring goals at a good clip in recent months, with 12 goals coming in just the last four matches. The Pharaohs, with their attacking prowess, would thus be hoping to score in abundance against a team low on confidence.

Ghana,on the other hand, despite having some strong names, was unable to overcome Cape Verde, as they were shockingly defeated 2-1 in their first match.

Chris Hughton’s group are also struggling and does not enter the competition in the best of shape, having lost four of their past six matches in all competitions.

Recent Meetings

The previous meeting between these two came in November 2017, and it finished in a 1-1 draw, giving Egypt three wins and a four-game unbeaten streak.

There have been eleven previous meetings between the two sides, with Egypt winning five of them, three resulting in draws, and Guinea winning three times.

Egypt vs Ghana Prediction

Given the current form disparity between the two teams, Egypt are listed as the favourite, and it appears like a wise choice to back the Pharaohs. Therefore, a victory for Egypt at 1.95 odds will be our main betting pick here considering all the observations.

For the second tip, over 2.5 goals at 1.64 odds seems very promising. Considering neither of these two teams has shown solid defensive structure, as both teams conceded twice in their opening matches of the group. While brave punters can also wager on the game to conclude with a 2-1 final score in favour of Egypt at 9.00 odds.
