It’s time for the big finale! The Africa Cup of Nations is coming to an end and we’re expecting fireworks as Liverpool superstars Sadio Mané and Mo Salah square off on the pitch for the final showdown this Sunday.
Following a shootout win against Cameroon in the semi-finals, Egypt has sailed through to the final for yet another year. They’ll be locking horns with Senegal, who will be looking to make up for their defeat in 2019 final by finally bagging their first Afcon trophy.

Egypt also has the upper hand when it comes to the Afcon tournament, having lifted the trophy a record-breaking seven times. Mo Salah and team will be aiming for yet another win, although they’ll have to make do without their coach Carlos Queiroz following his suspension in last Thursday’s semifinal match against Cameroon.
Senegal on the other hand has yet to win the Afcon Cup, coming close in the last edition but losing 1-0 to Algeria. They’ll be looking to make up for the loss with a win against the strongest team in Afcon history.
Senegal vs Egypt Prediction
Throughout the Afcon 2021 tournament, we’ve seen the Lions of Teranga engage in an amazing display of football, dominating their group stage and knockout round, blazing all the way to the final. They’re currently in top form and boast an outstanding defence as well as offence game.
Egypt on the other hand have failed to live up to expectations and will need immense teamwork to defeat a tough opponent this year. We predict Senegal to lift the trophy, with the following odds breakdown from BetKing:
