Recalling the painful 2006 final defeat, Fae emphasized Egypt’s resilient nature and clinical ability to punish opponents. While the defending champions enter the clash in strong form, they must neutralize a dangerous Egyptian side featuring stars like Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush.

The matchup between Egypt and Ivory Coast features some of the most clinical attacking talent in African football, making the Over 1.5 goals market highly appealing. Egypt has seen at least two goals in their most recent outings, including a 3-1 result against Benin. With Mohamed Salah in top form, having scored in three of their four matches, the Pharaohs always possess a goal threat regardless of the opposition's defensive strength. On the other side, Ivory Coast just put three goals past Burkina Faso, showing that their front line, led by Amad Diallo, is firing on all cylinders. While knockout games can sometimes be cagey, the defensive injuries for Egypt, specifically the loss of Mohamed Hamdy, could open up spaces for the Ivorian attackers. Given the stakes and the individual quality present, it is hard to see this game finishing without at least two goals being scored.
