Cape Verde vs Egypt Prediction & Betting Tips (15 November)

After four rounds, Egypt leads group C, with 12 points, the result of four victories, with a balance of ten goals scored and zero conceded, and has already secured a place in the next CAN. Cape Verde is third, with three points, recording one victory and three defeats and a balance of two goals scored and five conceded. Botswana is second, with six points, and Mauritania is last, with three points.The Cape Verdean team started the competition with a heavy defeat in Egypt 3-0, then beat Mauritania 2-0 in the second round, but lost in the third and fourth rounds, both games against Botswana, both 1-0. The Blue Tubarões play a decisive card for their qualification for the CAN, counting on players such as Bruno Varela, Wagner Pina, Yannick Semedo, Telmo Arcanjo and Jovane Cabral, with only the first two classified qualifying.

Egypt, led by Mohamed Salah , has four victories in this qualification, against Cape Verde 3-0, Botswana 0-4 and Mauritania at home 2-0 and away 0-1. The Pharaohs are unbeaten in six consecutive games, five wins and a draw, and away from home for eight consecutive games, having lost just two of the last ten away matches, six wins and two draws.Egypt and Cape Verde have met twice in history, in CAN 2024, in round three of group B, with the match ending in a two-goal draw, and in this qualification, in the opening round, with the Egyptians winning 3-0. . What will it be like this time? 

Egypt have been rock-solid defensively over the course of their previous six Africa Cup of Nations matches, conceding just a single goal on the way to collecting 17 points from a possible 18. Given that both teams have found the net in just one of the last nine league games involving Cape Verde, any deviation from this script would come as a bit of a surprise.
