Egypt vs Guinea
Africa Cup of Nations Qualification
Date: Sunday, 5 June 2022
Kick-off at 20:00 UK/ 21:00 CET
Venue: Cairo International Stadium.
Egypt will be determined to go after the Cup of Nations at any cost after having fallen at the very last hurdle in the latest tournament against Senegal.
And to rub salt on their wounds they once again fell against this same opponent in their World Cup qualification playoffs, and as a result got denied an entry into Qatar.
It is disheartening to think a player like Mohammed Salah will not be able to take part in the quadrennial extravaganza, and this exact reason will be driving them to go for glory at least in the African continent.
Meanwhile, Guinea were bundled out in the very first knockout fixture in the latest Cup of Nations tournament, and their latest form has also not been that impressive.
They have been letting in goals in huge numbers lately and they also have a poor head to head record against this foe and over the years.
For the reasons expect a win for the Egyptians this Thursday at their home.
