Egypt, the seven-time AFCON champions, are wounded warriors. Mohamed Salah, their talismanic forward, nurses an ankle niggle, casting a shadow over their attack. Yet, captain Ahmed Hegazi remains a defensive stalwart, and Mohamed Elneny’s midfield orchestration is as ever-compelling. Ghana, under the tutelage of the astute Otto Addo, boasts a vibrant young squad pulsating with potential. Mohammed Kudus, the midfield maestro, is back in the fold after injury, while the pacey duo of Kamaldeen Sulemana and Mohammed Salisu add dynamism and defensive solidity.
Egypt vs Ghana Predicted Lineups:
Egypt (4-3-3): El Shenawy; Gabr, Hegazi, Abdelmonem, Hamdy; Elneny, Fathy, Zizo; Salah (if fit), Mohamed, Trezeguet
Ghana (4-2-3-1): Ofori; Odoi, Djiku, Salisu, Mensah; Ashimeru, Baba; Williams, A. Ayew, J. Ayew; Semenyo
Egypt vs Ghana Prediction: A Tightrope Walk in the Desert Heat
This encounter is as tightly wound as a coiled cobra. Egypt’s experience and Salah’s potential return tilt the scales slightly in their favor. However, Ghana’s youthful exuberance and Addo’s tactical acumen are no mean threats. Expect a cagey affair, punctuated by moments of breathtaking skill and nail-biting tension. A draw seems the most likely outcome, with both teams wary of losing ground in the group stage.
We say: Egypt 2-1 Ghana
