SSN BET - Match of the Day: Egypt - South Africa / 06.07.2019

Hello my dear friends It's time to slowly leave the vacation and roll in, so to speak, again in the world of betting. The African Nations Cup is in full swing, the America's Cup is coming to an end, today there are at least three interesting matches. I will analyze the match 1/8 finals with the participation of the African Cup hosts, Egypt - South Africa.

Egypt

The national team of Egypt, as befits the hosts of the tournament, is confidently moving towards the African Cup final. After three rounds of the group stage in the asset "Pharaohs" three victories in which they did not miss a single ball. In the starting round, the charges of Javier Aguirre beat Zimbabwe (1-0), then DR Congo (2-0) and Uganda (2-0). However, not every match Egypt looked confident: both Uganda and the Congo throughout the match created many times more dangerous moments, and only by a miracle Egypt left its gates intact. The defense of the team still works well, as the goalkeeper Mohamed El-Shenawi. One goal in each of these matches was scored by Mohamed Salah.

South Africa

South Africa made the playoffs as the third team of Group D. What is noteworthy is that in order to reach the 1/8 finals of the African Nations Cup, South Africa was enough to score only one goal and gain a victory over the Namibian team (1-0). In the other two matches, Bafana Bafana lost 0-1 to Côte d'Ivoire and Morocco, who had already left the tournament. The team is an obvious outsider of stage 1/8, only in a match with Namibia was able to at least demonstrate something in the attack. In matches with more serious rivals like Côte d’Ivoire and Morocco, the South Africans failed to show absolutely nothing in the attack.

The specifics of the African championship - the minimum of goals and the maximum of the struggle that awaits us in this meeting. Bookmakers put up quotes for a confident victory of the tournament hosts and it’s impossible not to agree with them, Egypt is much higher than the class of today's rival. For South Africa, the achievement that with such a sluggish game they were able to break into the 1/8 finals, so the victory of the Egyptians with a difference of at least two goals seems logical.

I am considering the Egyptian victory with a handicap (-1) for 2.03 for this match. And the victory of the hosts of the tournament in the match for the coefficient of 1.65 also looks pretty good.

Good Luck
