Egypt – Sudan betting tip & odds comparison 19.01.2022

A place in the round of 16 is at stake when Egypt and Sudan go to battle in the third and final round of Group Group D AFCON 2021 games at the Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium on Wednesday.

The two teams are separated by two points. A draw will be enough for the Pharaohs but Sudan will need a win if they are to throw a spanner in the works here.

Our AFCON 2021 betting tips in this preview will be featured from 1xBet and Nairabet.  

EGYPT

Record seven-time AFCON winners Egypt find themselves in unfamiliar territory. They barely edged a hard-hitting and resilient Guinea Bissau side 1-0 on matchday 2. This was after they were humbled by the same scoreline by the other big hitter in the group Nigeria on opening day in a game that they were clearly second best from start to finish.

These results have them sitting in second place behind Nigeria, who have already sealed their place in the round of 16, on 3 points and in danger of getting dumped out of the group stage should they lose this final group game.

Carlos Queiroz will be looking to impose their will early in this game to avoid any late-game jitters.

SUDAN

Sudan kicked off the competition with a commendable goalless stalemate against Guinea Bissau but they had no answers for a dominant Nigeria side that whopped them 3-1 in their second group game.

The Falcons of Jediane will be looking for an outright win here in order to leapfrog the Pharaohs for that second qualifying slot from this group.

That is however a long shot for them as they have not won any of their last 12 straight games across all competitions. Breaking that run against AFCON mammoths Egypt will be an upset of seismic proportions.

EGYPT VS SUDAN PREDICTIONS

With a place in the round of 16 beckoning for both teams, we can expect them to both have a go at it.  There is however a massive gulf in class between them with 80 places separating them in the FIFA rankings. We fancy Egypt to come out the gates firing here as they look to put the result beyond doubt at the earliest opportunity. Sudan went 3-0 down to Nigeria in the first half of their game and although they will look to clean things up here, we still fancy Egypt to lead by halftime @ 1.75 with Nairabet as our opening betting prediction today.

Egyptian magician Mohammed Salah fired blanks against Nigeria on opening day but he opened his account with the only goal of the match against Guinea Bissau. Now that the jitters are out of the way and with the weight of expectation of the desert nation on his shoulder, we fancy him to come up with the goods again and do what he does best, which is score anytime. 1xBet app have this option priced at 1.60. We feel there is value in snapping that up as our final tip.
