On February 6, the final of the African Cup of Nations will be held, in which the national teams of Senegal and Egypt will compete for the trophy of the continent. Your attention is drawn to the forecast for the match in which bookmakers consider Senegalese favorites.
Senegal
Senegal made it to the Africa Cup Final for the second time in a row. At the same time, this team does not yet have the trophies of the main tournament of the continent. Previously, there were two finals (2002 and 2019), in which the Senegalese lost to Cameroon and Algeria, respectively.
Recall that in the semifinals of the current competition, Senegal confidently defeated the national team of Burkina Faso (3:1). In total, the national team won four victories and two draws in the group stage during the six matches of the CAN-2022.
Egypt
- Egypt, unlike the upcoming opponent, has won the Africa Cup seven times. The last time the "Pharaohs" celebrated a triumph was in 2010. At the ongoing competitions, the national team acts very pragmatically, scoring no more than one goal per game.
- In the semifinals, the Egyptians beat Cameroon on penalties, and in the quarterfinals they managed to squeeze Morocco following the results of the extra halves (2:1). Also, the national team in the first round of the playoffs passed Ivory Coast on the principle of a football lottery.

Figures and statistics:
- Bookmakers consider Senegal to be a small favorite for the CAEN 2022 finals – the coefficient for winning in regular time is 2.27;
- Senegal defeated Egypt in the previous two face-to-face meetings, without conceding goals - 1:0 and 2:0;
- In 9 out of 10 face - to - face confrontations between the national teams of Senegal and Egypt, a total of more than two goals were not scored;
- The Egyptian national team secured the TM bet(2.5) goals in all six matches of the African Cup of Nations;
- Senegal's attack has scored at least two goals in the last 3 matches in the current tournament.
Forecast
It is obvious that in the final Egypt will not retreat from the defensive formation, using which the "Pharaohs" reached the final. Senegal, in turn, will also not get into the attack from the first minutes, given that there is a trophy at stake. Therefore, in this match, the TM(2) goal bet with a coefficient of 1.61 looks reliable.
