Egypt vs Botswana: Africa Cup of Nations Qualifying Match Prediction
The national teams of Egypt and Botswana will play in the qualification for the African Cup of Nations.

Will the guests be able to create a sensation on November 19? The answer is in our forecast.
Command Analysis
Egypt
EgyptCurrent form
The Egyptian national team is one of the strongest on the African continent and rarely misses the African Cup of Nations. And now the team has already secured its participation in the African championship, having taken first place in its qualifying group ahead of schedule. The last match against Botswana is no longer significant for the hosts in the tournament, since they are ahead of their opponent by six points. Nevertheless, the Egyptians will still try to perform well to please their fans. In the last round, the Pharaohs lost points for the first time in the qualifying cycle, having drawn with Cape Verde (1:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with their squad before the final qualifying match.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has won four of its last five matches.
- During the entire qualifying round, the Egyptians conceded only one goal
Estimated line-up: El-Shenawi - Eid, Abdel, Fathy, Hani - Shehata, Ahmed Kouka - Faisal, Saber, Adel - Mohamed.
Botswana
BotswanaCurrent form
The Botswana national team has only participated in one Africa Cup of Nations - it was in 2012. Then the team failed to get out of the group, suffering three defeats, but it was still a big event for the players and for the fans. Now the Zebras have a chance to repeat the achievement, because with one round left they are in second place in their qualifying group. The team is three points ahead of Mauritania and Cape Verde, but Botswana can still lose to Mauritania in head-to-head matches. In the last round, the visitors tied with Mauritania (1:1), and in the first round they lost to this team with a score of 0:1. It will be very difficult to take points from Egypt - in the home match, Didier Gomez team lost to the Egyptians with a score of 0:4.
Disqualifications and injuries
The visitors have no problems with their line-up before the decisive match.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has scored one goal in each of its last three matches.
- Botswana have suffered three defeats in their last four away matches
Probable lineup: Foko - Johnson, Ditlokwe, Gaolaolwe, Welaphi - Modingwane - Sikanyeng, Baruti, Mohutsiva, Sesinyi - Orebonye

1.47Tip and bets
The Botswana national team consists almost entirely of players from the local championship, so the team is unlikely to have anything to do against the Egyptians. The hosts are two heads above and are unlikely to spare their opponents in the final round. We believe that Egypt will complete the qualifying round with a confident victory, and the guests will only have to hope for a favorable outcome in the parallel match.
Our forecast is Asian handicap (-1.5) on Egypt for 1.98
Bet on total
The visitors will be satisfied with a draw, so they will try their best not to concede in this match. It is unlikely that the Botswana players will even think about attacking, playing away against an opponent like Egypt. Most likely, the hosts will score a couple of goals, and then play according to the score and calmly bring the match to victory.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.77
Bet on corners
We expect a huge advantage for the Egyptian national team, so we will place another bet on their victory in the corners.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-3.5) on Egypt on corners for 1.94
