Ghana, just like the hosts, one of the leading teams of the continent and two team were unlucky to be drawn in the same group as only the winner will travel to the World Cup. Ghana started the group stage with unexpected 0-0 draw with Uganda. The team played seven matches in 2016, recording two wins, four draws and only one loss. The visiting side is currently on four-match streak without a victory after they recorded three draws with Rwanda, Uganda and RSA and one loss to Russia.
Egypt and Ghana faced one another eight times and neither of the team have advantage with three wins for each side and two draws recorded. The opponents faced one another in qualification for World Cup 2014 when Egypt took 2-1 home win and Ghana replied with 6-1 triumph in reverse match. However, teams have changed since then and we shouldn’t expect numerous goals in the matchup.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals.
