Egypt vs Algeria predictions and top betting tips

Algeria travel to Egypt as two of the best African nations face off against each other.

Match result prediction: Draw

For our first prediction, we at Football Ground Guide predict that Egypt vs Algeria will end as a draw. Between both of these nations, in the previous twenty matches in all competitions, just two matches has seen a defeat with a defeat each for both nations so it is safe to say these two come into this encounter in fantastic form. With our prediction, the most recent head-to-head result, recent form and FIFA World Rankings, these two nations can not be separated.

Both teams to score prediction: Yes

For our second prediction, we  at Football Ground Guide predict that both Egypt and Algeria will find the back of the net. Egypt have failed to score just once in their previous thirteen matches in all competitions which came in a 2-0 defeat to Ethiopia in June 2022 in the African Cup of Nations while Algeria have failed to find the net twice in their previous thirteen matches with both of those coming in a 0-0 draw against Tanzania and then another 0-0 draw with Senegal.

Correct score prediction: 1-1 Draw

For our third and final prediction, we at Football Ground Guide predict that this encounter will be a repeat of the most recent head-to-head result by finishing with a 1-1 draw. Egypt and Algeria are impossible to separate and we predict a tight and cagey affair despite the pressure being off with this match being a friendly, neither nation will want to lose but we do not believe either nation will go all out in hope of winning.
