Egypt vs Tunisia Prediction & Betting tips
On Friday, the fifth round of qualifiers for the Africa Cup will take place. In this competition, the African football national associations play their continental champion. It is, so to speak, the equivalent of the European Championship. The final tournament will take place next year in Cameroon. We analyze for our readers the play of group J between Egypt and Tunisia. Both teams are already qualified for the finals, so that the game bears the character of a friendly match. The Tunisians are unbeaten in first place, followed by the Egyptians with three points behind. The kick-off will take place at 16:00.
Egypt:
Egypt is the record holder at the Africa Cup with seven tournament victories. The last title, however, is already a few years ago. In Angola, in 2010, the title was won for the last time. After that, the North Africans failed to qualify three times before returning to the final tournament last year to reach the final. Here they were Cameroon 1: 2. In the summer, the Egyptians arrived under coach Hector Cuper at the World Cup in Russia. After three defeats, however, they retired already in the group stage. Since August Javier Aguirre has been in command of the Pharaohs. Under his direction, three wins for Ägytpen were retracted. The home games against the Niger (6: 0) and Eswatini (4: 1) were clearly won. In the second leg in Eswatini they achieved a 2: 0 success. So they are with nine points in second place behind the Tunisians. The first leg in Tunisia was lost under coach Cuper 0-1. Star in the team of Aguirre is certainly the Liverpool striker Mo Salah. In the English Premier League, he was already six times einnetzen and also in the previous games of the African Cup qualifier, he has already hit three times in the black. Missing is likely on Friday after Mohamed Elneny of the Gunners, who is still plagued with a thigh injury.
Tunisia:
The Tunisians are currently ranked 22nd in the FIFA World Ranking. This puts them a few places ahead of the opponent from Egypt. But does she make that a favorite? Judging by the latest results do not judge. In qualifying for the Africa Cup, they have won all the games so far, but the results have not been convincing. Against Cartagena, the Eagles of Carthage suffered a 1-0 victory against Niger. Also in the second leg, it was only enough for a narrow 2: 1. The team was taken over by coach Faouzi Benzarti after the World Cup. He is to lead them for the fourteenth consecutive participation in the Africa Cup. The last title they could win in 2004 when they knew how to take advantage of their home advantage. But they could never confirm the success. After that, it was still maximum to participate in the quarterfinals. For the World Cup in Russia, the Eagles could also qualify. In the preliminary group, they defeated Panama, but defeated England and Belgium, so they had to start the homeward journey after the preliminary round. Now it’s time for the return leg to Egypt. The first leg is already over a year back. At that time they could keep the upper hand 1-0. Is the current form good enough to defend the first place against the opponent?
