Egypt and Ghana will face off in the MatchDay 2 of the AFCON 2023.
In this upcoming game, it’s expected that Ghana would consider it disappointing if they fail to score against Egypt. However, the prediction suggests that they might not score as many goals as they could potentially concede in the match.
Egypt enters this game following a 2-2 draw against Mozambique in the Africa Cup of Nations.
In the aforementioned match, Egypt maintained 61% possession and registered 21 shots on goal, with 5 on target. On the flip side, Mozambique had 6 attempts at goal, with 2 on target.
Examining their recent scorelines, Egypt has demonstrated defensive solidity, conceding only 3 goals in their last six outings.

Ghana looks to rebound after a defeat in their last Africa Cup of Nations game against Cape Verde Islands.
In that match, Ghana had 46% possession and attempted 11 shots on goal, with only 1 on target. On the other side, Cape Verde Islands had 15 shots at goal, with 5 on target.
Analyzing the past six games involving Ghana reveals a notable scarcity of goals between them and their opponents. The average goals scored per game during this period stands at 1.5, with Ghana averaging 0.17 goals. However, it’s important to note that this trend may not necessarily continue into the upcoming match.
Last 5 Games: Won: 1, Draw: 1, Lost: 3, Scored: 2, Conceded: 7, Clean Sheets: 2.
