Egypt visit the Cheikha Ould Boïdiya Stadium on Tuesday to face Mauritania in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, looking to continue their winning run in the campaign. Ranked 31st in the world, the Pharaohs are well on their way to another AFCON finals, consolidated by their 2-0 win over the Lions of Chinguetti on Friday.
Mahmoud Trezeguet and Mohamed Salah struck apiece after the hour mark as they clicked into gear quite late, but managed to get the job done.
Having also beaten Cape Verde (3-0) and Botswana (4-0) in their previous qualifiers, the north African side have a 100% win record, boasting nine points from a possible nine. They are at the top of Group C right now too, and need just a draw to confirm their place in next year's Moroccan showpiece.
On the other hand, Mauritania's campaign has gone the opposite way. They opened their account with a narrow 1-0 win over Botswana, but have since lost to Cape Verde and Egypt, a pair of 2-0 defeats.
Although three sides are currently on three points in the group, Al-Murabitun are at the bottom by virtue of head-to-head goal difference. Ranked a staggering 81 places below the former, the northwest African side are looking for their fourth appearance at the tournament.
Mauritania vs Egypt Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
- There have been four clashes between the sides in the past, with Egypt going unbeaten in all four of them, winning thrice.
- The only time the Lions of Chinguetti managed to avoid a loss in the fixture was back in June 2007 (1-1 draw in the AFCON qualifiers).
- The Pharaohs won this fixture 2-0 on Friday.
- Hossam Hassan's side haven't conceded a single goal in the AFCON qualifiers, a record currently shared with DR Congo and Nigeria.
- The Lions of Chinguetti have lost their last two games and four of their last five. They've won just once from their last eight: a 1-0 win over Botswana in the ongoing qualifiers.
Mauritania vs Egypt Prediction
The Pharaohs have been in a league of their own, swatting aside all opposition on their way so far.
Although they did take some time to get going in this fixture on Friday, they eventually came through, demonstrating superior quality. We expect the same here.
