Egypt - Senegal, Picks and Tips
"The 'Pharaohs' reached this stage of the competition after comfortably winning a group that also included Gabon, Libya and Angola. Egypt's lead was seven points over Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's side. After that, Egypt played in the Africa Cup of Nations. With a gruelling final tournament that saw them go into extra time in all four knockout rounds, Carlos Queiroz's boys didn't stop until they reached the final. But they couldn't get past Senegal on penalties in what was Mohammed Salah & co's last game before Egypt vs Senegal on Friday.
Senegal hasn't lost a high-stakes game in the last two years. At the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations, Sadio Mane & co avenged draws with Malawi and Guinea (each time 0-0) in the group stage with a flawless performance afterwards. With relatively easy wins against Cape Verde (2-0), Equatorial Guinea (3-1) and Burkina Faso (3-1), the 'Lions of Teranga' reached the last round. Mane converted the decisive penalty to bring Cameroon's big trophy to Dakar. Aliou Cisse's men have dropped just two points from six games in the qualifiers for the World Cup in Qatar. The Senegalese group also included Togo, Namibia and Congo.
