Egypt
CAF World Cup Qualifiers
The two nations have faced each other twice since 2022: once in World Cup qualifying and once in the AFCON qualifiers. Egypt won one fixture, while the other which took place last year, ended in a draw. The average number of goals scored per game was 1.5.
Egypt team overview
Egypt secured their place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup by comfortably beating Djibouti 3-0 in midweek. This was their fifth consecutive clean sheet and extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to 23 games.
Mohamed Salah has averaged a goal per game over the nine qualifiers played so far, including his brace in midweek, which made him the top scorer of the African World Cup qualifiers.
Mohamed El Shenawy is deemed doubtful for this weekend's match, so Mostafa Shobeir may start in goal against Guinea-Bissau.

Guinea-Bissau team overview
Guinea-Bissau have no hope of securing a place through the play-offs, as they are nine points behind second-placed Burkina Faso with just one game left.
The Stallions travelled to Ethiopia for matchday 9 on Wednesday, looking to secure back-to-back wins after beating Djibouti during the September international break.
Emiliano Té’s side failed to take the chances they created, particularly in the first half, and lost 1:0. Nonetheless, a win over Egypt this weekend would be a fitting end to their failed World Cup qualification attempt.
Everton forward Beta led the line last time out and is likely to keep his place up front, alongside Tchami and Balde, in what could be a 4-3-3 formation.

Prediction
Egypt are favourites for the three points, but with the Pharaohs having nothing to play for, it wouldn't be surprising to see this one end in a draw. The last two meetings between the two nations were very close, with each game producing no more than two goals and none of the visitors' last five games has produced more than two goals. I am therefore predicting a 1:1 draw.
Three reasons we expect under 2.5 goals in this game
- None of the last five games of Guinea Bissau produced more than two goals.
- Only one of the last 9 competitive games of Egypt produced more than 2 goals.
- Bets on under 2.5 goals won in each of the last two meetings between Egypt and Guinea Bissau.
Main prediction -
Under 2.5 goals
