FIFA World Cup Qualifiers-Africa is back in action this week as Angola and Egypt lock horns at Estádio 11 de Novembro in Angola. Kick off schedules for 12th November 2021 at 22:00E EAT.
Angola started the campaign in low spirits they have only one win out of the four opening matches. The home side is in a struggling form as they head into this game, they suffered 2-0 defeat in the hands Gabon in their previous qualifiers outing.
Egypt is one of the football giants in the whole Africa with a number of great and experienced players; they haven’t lost in any of their first four matches in this competition. In their previous qualifiers match they trashed Libya 0-3 and we bet the same results is to be expected in this game.
These two teams have history of defensive game play since most of their previous matches have ended with goals fewer than 2.5. Even though Egypt might have one of the strongest lineups in the segment, they have not been scoring goals at will apart from in the recent win over Libya. As a result, only one of the last five matches for Egypt has produced over 2.5 goals and we expect the same results here.
The Pharoahs are definitely our favourites in this game having three wins and a draw in the first four matches while the opponents have three losses in the same period. The visitors are seven points above the hosts already and they will be looking for a third win in a row in this game, stopping them is easier said than done.
