Mohamed Salah captained Egypt to a dramatic 2-1 victory over Zimbabwe in their Africa Cup of Nations opener, sealing the win with a clinical stoppage-time goal. Despite dominating possession and creating numerous chances, the Pharaohs trailed early before Omar Marmoush equalized. Salah’s late heroics place Egypt at the top of Group B, providing a perfect start to the tournament while he remains absent from Liverpool's Premier League campaign.
The statistical backing for at least two goals in this fixture is incredibly strong. Egypt entered this tournament with an aggressive mindset, as seen in their opening match where they generated an xG of 2.93. With Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush in peak form, the Pharaohs have the quality to break down almost any defense. On the other side, South Africa showed they are not shy in front of goal either, putting two past Angola. History also supports this trend, as the most recent meeting between these two sides ended in a 3-1 scoreline. Both teams are currently top of the group and playing with high confidence, meaning neither side is likely to sit back and play for a 0-0 draw. Expect the attacking talent on display to ensure the ball hits the net at least twice during the 90 minutes in Agadir.
