Egypt U23 vs Niger U23 Prediction: The Egyptians should tread carefully against the Nigerien

The Young Pharaohs will strive to defend their title as they lock horns with Niger U23 at the Grand Stade de Tanger Stadium on Sunday. The tournament will be held in Morocco, and the top three sides on the log will represent Africa in Paris 2024 Olympics. 

Egypt U23

The Egyptians have been one of the best sides in Africa and were one of the few that represented Africa in the Olympics 2020. Egypt were knocked out of the competition in the quarterfinals by Brazil. Since then, they have been exceptional and are unbeaten in the last twelve games. In preparation for this tournament, they played out a (1-1) stalemate against the Ghana Youngstars. The Young Pharaohs had the opportunity to secure all the points, but the Ghanaian keeper denied them from the spot. Egypt U23 are the best in Africa, and we are confident they won’t lose here.

Niger U23

The Nigerien team head here for the first time ever after defeating Sudan U23. Salam Boulhasan and Kairou Amoustapha scored in both halves before a consolation goal from Sudan in the 88th minute was enough to hand them a golden ticket to this stage. Niger U23 have won once in their last six games. Niger U23 are well prepared for this tournament, with their coach naming a strong side for this competition.

Expert Betting Tips

Both sides will clash for the first time, and Egypt has to be very careful. Niger U23, who knocked out 2019 finalists, can’t be underestimated in this year’s competition. We hope the Egyptians will have worked on their striking department, having gone two games without a goal. Just because they have got the quality and experience, the Egyptians have the upper hand here; bet on a home win for 2.18.

We expect the Egyptians to start well, and we expect them to get a goal before the break; bet on a home halftime win for 3.08.

Both sides will get a goal here for 2.30.

Good luck!
