Egypt vs Guinea Bissau Prediction & Betting Tips (12 October)

Egypt and Guinea-Bissau meet in a pivotal World Cup 2026 qualifier, with both teams unbeaten so far and Group A supremacy at stake.

Egypt enter the clash riding a wave of momentum, having secured three consecutive wins in the qualifiers, including a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Burkina Faso. Under the guidance of Hossam Hassan, the Pharaohs have blended defensive resilience with attacking flair, conceding just once in their last three outings. Mohamed Salah remains the talisman, netting crucial goals, while emerging talents like Mostafa Mohamed and Omar Marmoush continue to impress. Egypt’s tactical discipline and depth have made them early favorites to top the group and secure automatic qualification.

Guinea-Bissau, coached by Luis Boa Morte, have shown grit and defensive solidity, keeping four clean sheets in their last five qualifiers. Their recent 0-0 draw against Ethiopia highlighted their struggle to convert chances, a recurring issue despite a promising midfield led by Alfa Semedo and Franculino Djú. The Djurtus sit second in the group with five points, having drawn two and won one, but they’ll need to find attacking rhythm to challenge Egypt’s dominance. Their home advantage at Estádio 24 de Setembro could be a key factor, especially with the crowd behind them.

As the two sides prepare for their showdown on October 13, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Egypt’s experience and firepower give them the edge, but Guinea-Bissau’s defensive tenacity ensures it won’t be a walkover. Expect a tightly contested match with moments of brilliance from both camps. Our prediction leans toward a narrow win for Egypt, with a final scoreline of 2-1—just enough to keep their perfect record intact while acknowledging the fight Guinea-Bissau will surely bring.
