Our Tipster’s Angle

This is it! What the African countries have been battling for since January, and the finalists won’t like to lose this trophy so close.

The two Liverpool stars will clash in the battle of Supremacy. While Senegal is star-studded and has the FIFA best keeper (Mendy), Egypt can boast of having a good keeper, as seen in their game with Cameroon.

Tip 1: Halftime Draw

Both teams are strong defensively and would love to hold out the game in the first half. Also, clashes with top countries in this competition have seen the games end up drawing at halftime.

Also, 5 of 11 AFCON finals have ended in penalties, and 4 have ended goalless. We think this match would at least end 0-0 in the first half.

For the match to end first half draw, the option is 1.76 at the Casumo sportsbook.

Tip 2: Under 2.5 Goals

AFCON has been a low-scoring encounter, and we think this match won’t be otherwise. In their last 5 games in this competition, Senegal has seen under 2.5 goals in 3 of them. Egypt has played under 2.5 in their last 5 games in this competition.

Also, checking their H2H, of the last 5 clashes between these teams, 4 has ended with under 2.5 goals.

For under 2.5 goals, the market option at Casumo sports is 1.32 odds.

Conclusion

This match would have all eyes on it from viewers worldwide. Would it be Mane and Mendy that would be victorious or Mo Salah? We don’t know yet, but we believe this game would be pulsating.

AFCON has always been a low-scoring encounter, and we also think this game would not be any different.
