Cape Verde vs Egypt Prediction and Betting Tips | November 15th 2024

Cape Verde and Egypt return to action in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers when they square off at the Estadio Nacional on Friday. The Pharoahs head into the weekend as one of just four sides with a 100% record in the qualifiers and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling.

Cape Verde’s dreams of securing a place in Morocco next year suffered a fresh blow as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Botswana at the Francistown Stadium on October 15.

Bubista’s men have lost three of their four qualifying matches so far — conceding five goals and scoring twice — with a 2-0 victory over Mauritania on September 10 being the exception.

With three points from a possible 12, Cape Verde are currently third in the Group C standings, level on points with rock-bottom Mauritania and three points behind second-placed Botswana.

Elsewhere, 23-year-old Ibrahim Adel came up clutch for Egypt as he netted the only goal of the game in the 85th minute to hand them a 1-0 victory over Mauritania on October 15.

Hossam Hassan’s men have won their four games in the qualifiers so far, scoring 10 goals and keeping four clean sheets to sit six points clear at the top of the Group C standings.

Egypt, who are 30th in the latest FIFA World Rankings, have already secured their spot in the 2025 AFCON tournament and will look to make it five wins on the bounce this weekend.
