Egypt meets South Africa in the Africa Cup of Nations 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Saturday, July 6th at Cairo International Stadium (Cairo)
I’ll explain below why the high coefficient for the victory of Egypt is so high. And now we should only comment that the Pharaohs swept through the group stage as is right and proper for the hosts and one of the favorites of the tournament. They won all 3 matches, scored 5 goals and kept their net intact. Now Egypt is full of strength and desire to continue in the same strain until the 90+ minute of the final match.

As for South Africa, the team miraculously slipped into the playoffs. It took 3rd place in the group, losing to Morocco and Ivory Coast and beating Namibia. Moreover, South Africa had only 3 points, plus a negative goal difference. But Kenya (with which South Africa raffled the last ticket (in the absentee duel) among all the third teams in the groups), lost to Senegal with a 0-3 score in the last round, thereby making the difference of its goals 3-7. South Africa had a 1-2 goal difference, but it will leave the tournament only in the 1/8 finals, and not immediately after the group stage.
The fact that it will leave is almost beyond doubt. And such a high coefficient for the victory of Egypt is probably explained by the last 3 meetings between these rivals. There we saw 1 draw and 2 wins of South Africa. But one of them, the last one, was a friendly game played 3 years ago. And it was played in Johannesburg. And the other 2 were held in 2011 at all. Then Egypt’s squad couldn’t boast of Mohsen, Ghazal, Trezeguet, El Neny, Salah, and the football euphoria didn’t fall asleep after World Cup 2010, which was held in exact South Africa. In the last 15 home matches, Egypt lost only once to Uruguay, and 2 matches against Colombia and Morocco ended in a draw. South Africa is far away from South American teams. And Morocco will still be stronger. Egypt has a more powerful squad. Egypt showed a more meaningful game. Finally, Egypt plays at home. And it will surely advance to the quarterfinals without playing extra time.
Prediction for the match: Egypt to win
