THE PREDICTION
Just over a month ago, Egypt versus Senegal was the final of the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations - a match that went to penalties with the Senegalese winning their first AFCON trophy. Now, despite being two of the best, not the two best, teams on the continent, only one of them will qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Carlos Queiroz’s Egyptians were heavily criticised throughout the tournament for being too rigid and too defensive, overly reliant on Mohamed Salah doing something unique or special. The Senegalese, with a spine of Edouard Mendy, Kalidou Koulibaly, Idrissa Gueye and Sadio Mane started slowly before growing into the final and crucial stages. A draw, in a likely-to-be tight and tense encounter, would appear the likeliest outcome for this one.
