Our prediction for this Africa Cup of Nations 2019 match:
Egypt
Match Time & Date:
12/10/2018
01:00 PM
Prediction: 2-1
Eswatini
Egypt quickly bounced back from a 1-0 loss to Tunisia, with the team crushing Niger 6-0 in their second group game in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. The Pharaohs aim to regain top position in Group J and we predict that they are going to go all guns blazing at Swazilend in Friday’s football match at Al Salam Stadium. As always, a man to watch in the home side will be Liverpool attacker Mohamed Salah, who scored a brace in the 6-0 victory over Niger. Swazilend, on the other hand, have yet to find the net in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers and seeing that Friday’ clash is of big importance for the Egyptians, we do not believe that the underdogs are capable of spoiling the Pharaohs’ party in Cairo. It has to be noted that the two sides meet for the first time ever in a competitive match.
