Egyptian Form & Team News
Egypt suffered a previous international outing which Nigeria lost 1-0. They were left behind after only 10 seconds of play and despite creating a number of opportunities, they could not find their way back to the contest.
Pharaoh is preparing to host the entire continent in the 2019 African Cup and is considered one of the favorites for the title. Javier Aguirre's men usually did their best work in front of their fans after winning their last three home matches, scoring 13 goals in that match.
The Egyptians will be without Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah, who was given an additional leave after leading the Reds to the glory of the UEFA Champions League. Although Salah did not exist, they still had enough quality to defeat Tanzania with Mahmoud 'Trezeguet' Hassan and Marwan Mohsen expected to start in the attack.
Tanzania Form & Team News
Tanzania's last international outing was a 3-0 win over Uganda in the Africa Cup qualifier which confirmed their participation in the tournament. Simon Msuva opened the scoring on 21 minutes while Erasto Nyoni and Aggrey Morris added further goals in the second half.

Prediction of Egypt vs Guinea
The hosts will almost certainly come out on top when they clash against Guinea guests at the Borg El Arab Stadium on Sunday.

The visitors, on the other hand, underwent a poor performance on the road, only winning in their last five away matches. The away side have also found it difficult to find the back of the goal, with only three goals on all five occasions.
The home side entered the match, having lost the last game against Nigeria with a goal. However, the match on Sunday should be an easy victory for Pharaoh.

We can expect the home team to lead before the break and definitely win at the end of ninety minutes.
