Egypt has already fulfilled all the tasks and promoted to the final stage of the World Cup for first time in 28 years. Mohamed Salah and his teammates are sitting comfortably on the first place in Group E standings with 12 points taken after five matches played. The Egyptians are not so convincing on the road as it managed to defeat Congo with the minimal 1:0 scoreline and lost 0:1 to Uganda in this qualifying cycle.
Egypt broke Uganda in three recent head-to-heads in a row, although it was at the home ground. Ghana will surely prefer an attacking football in the upcoming battle to at least rehabilitate itself in face of its supporters while Egypt will unlikely to apply many efforts in the game.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.0 scored goals.
