South Sudan and Egypt last met in Jun 23, which ended with a 3-0 score in favor of Egypt. This game is an Africa Cup of Nations Qualifications match where South Sudan must host a clearly superior team and must try to forget that defeat. South Sudan come into this in a fairly difficult state, having lost two matches in a row in this competition, especially the latest match where they lost 1-2. As for Egypt, although they have not won in four consecutive matches, they have mostly drawn and just finished 0-0 in the same competition. Egypt's overall picture is a team that controls the tempo better and has higher quality in attack, even though they still face finishing problems in some matches. This game is likely to play out with Egypt holding the ball and applying continuous pressure, while South Sudan defend deep and wait to counter. If South Sudan score first from a counterattack, the game could turn into one where Egypt must hurry and open up more, which would change the shape of the game immediately. But if Egypt score first, the game should flow in one direction and end with a clear margin.
