Egypt started the tournament confidently, securing first place in the group after two wins. In their final match, they played with rotations and still managed to avoid defeat against Angola. The team is focused and disciplined, skillfully capitalizing on their chances, as demonstrated by their victories over strong opponents. The team is determined and aiming for first place in the group.
Benin has been showing inconsistent results, experiencing serious problems both offensively and defensively. The team earned three points, beating only Botswana, but qualified for the playoffs through the rankings of third-placed teams and is unlikely to pose serious competition to a formidable opponent. Their morale after a heavy defeat to Senegal is also questionable.
Given their clear class advantage, the teams' current form, and their head-to-head record, Egypt is the clear favorite in this match. A confident victory is expected.
