Djibouti vs Egypt Prediction

There are two games of CAF qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup to go and Egypt are expected to reach the summit of North America in this game, with the Pharaohs having a five-point lead over second place Burkina Faso with just two games to go.

The Egyptians have been brilliant with six victories and two draws in their eight matches thus far, with Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush forming a dangerous partnership. Djibouti are one of the very weakest teams and they have actually collected just one point from their eight qualifiers thus far. Djibouti most recently suffered a 2-0 loss to Guinea-Bissau in the September international break.

In those eight matches, Djibouti have actually conceded a staggering 28 goals and so Egypt will be expected to confirm qualification for the tournament in style this week.
