Guinea-Bissau vs Egypt prediction

As disappointing as Egypt were in the opener, there were signs towards the end of the game that the likes of Mohamed Salah and Trezeguet were starting to get in behind. It would be too much to suggest they finished strongly, although there were certainly signs of life.

Egypt to win 1-0.
