Egypt have reached the quarter-finals with two wins and two draws in regular time, but their overall performance has looked unstable. They conceded first against Zimbabwe, and only their key stars managed to rescue the team, including a late goal by Mohamed Salah. Against Benin, progress came in extra time only because of the opponent's weak bench.

Ivory Coast have recorded three wins from four matches so far. Their victory over Burkina Faso in the last 16 was particularly convincing, and the team appears to be improving with every round. Amad Diallo has been one of the standout performers, already scoring three goals. The squad remains fit and balanced.

Ivory Coast's path to the quarter-finals has been far more consistent and controlled than Egypt's. The Pharaohs have repeatedly flirted with losing control of matches, while the defending champions look settled and confident. Our prediction is a win for the Ivory Coast at 2.45.
