The qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup in Africa continue this weekend when Sierra Leone host the Pharaohs of Egypt in Group A on Sunday evening.
Sierra Leone are participating in the group stage of the World Cup Qualifiers for the first time since 2013 when they finished third in Group B. The Leone Stars went into their opener against Ethiopia in midweek as underdogs but went home with a point after a goalless draw. Given that the Ethiopians also managed to avoid defeat in their last two meetings with Egypt they will fancy their chances of leaving this weekend’s game with something.
Fresh from securing a place at AFCON 2023 in Côte d'Ivoire, the Egyptians are looking to qualify for the FIFA World Cup for the fourth time in their history. The Pharaohs extended their winning streak in competitive matches to five as they thrashed Djibouti 6:0 in Group A of the World Cup qualifiers in midweek. Mohamed Salah was the star of the show with four goals with Mostafa Mohamed and Trezeguet scoring the other two.
Sierra Leone vs Egypt Betting Tips: Egypt to win & under 2.5 goals
Sierra Leone have shown fighting spirit in recent games after a poor AFCON qualifying campaign in which they recorded just one win. The Leone Stars enter this weekend's game on a three-game unbeaten streak and kept a clean sheet in each of the last two games. All three games ended with two goals or fewer.
Egypt started the campaign by scoring six goals but that was a rare scenario as the Pharaohs have only scored more than two goals in two of their last eighteen competitive matches. Just three of those games ended with more than 2.5 goals.

Sierra Leone team news
After a fantastic defensive display in the draw against Ethiopia last time out, Sierra Leone head coach Amidu Karim will see no reason to change his back line.
Emmanuel Samadia, Mohamed Kabia, Abdul Jarju Kabia and Osman Kakay will keep their place in defence, while Alusine Pagal Koroma and Alpha Bedor Conteh will be hoping to play in midfield.

Egypt team news
Egypt will continue to rely on the services of Liverpool's Mohamed Salah, who is second in the all-time goalscoring charts with 55 goals.
Salah will be supported in the final third by Mostafa Mohamed, who has scored seven goals in 24 international matches for the Egyptian national football team.
Ahmed Samy missed the win over Djibouti through injury and will also miss this weekend's game, but head coach Rui Vitória has no further problems.
