Egypt v Senegal Betting Tips [25 March 2022]

Egypt and Senegal face off again, this time in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers CAF region as they battle for a single ticket to the global showpiece. This game, hosted by Egypt, comes just two months after Senegal beat Egypt on post match penalties at the 2021 AFCON final and Egypt will be seeking revenge against an opponent they haven’t beaten in the last three meetings. Both these teams have great runs in World Cup qualifiers ahead of this game; Egypt are unbeaten in their last nine and lost just once in the last 13. They’ve scored two or more goals in their last three matches in World Cup qualification and at home they have 13 straight wins in the competition. Egypt haven’t lost at home in their last 21 World Cup qualification matches.

Senegal go into this game unbeaten in their last 13 matches and will be out to extend a good run against Egypt. They haven’t lost to Egypt in their last three meetings, winning two in regular time and the most recent on post match penalties. They have been great in both attack and defence, heading to this game and will hope it extends here, against an Egyptian side playing at home and with partisan backing. Just like Egypt, they have a good run in World Cup qualification - unbeaten in the last 15, with 10 wins. They have scored two or more goals in nine of their last 10 World Cup qualification matches and when playing at home, Senegal have gone unbeaten in the last seven matches in this competition. They have four wins in those seven matches.

These two giants will face off on the back of their AFCON 2021 final clash in which Senegal emerged winners after post match penalties. There isn’t much to separate the two sides given their good runs in World Cup qualifiers, but Egypt playing at home, and on the back of that loss at the AFCON final, will be favourites to win this. Back the home side to prevail here.
