South Sudan vs Egypt Prediction 29 September 2026
🔊 Several trends point to a cautious match. South Sudan have struggled to score at home, while Egypt consistently play low-scoring games away. The table situation gives both sides room to manoeuvre: the hosts are currently outside the play-off places but can close the gap in this round, while Egypt are chasing contact with first place and are unlikely to take risks early in the group stage.
No head-to-head history
📊 These two sides have never met before.
South Sudan: low scoring and bottom of the table
South Sudan continue to struggle for points and to create chances in the final third. Over their last five matches they have won once and lost four times, failing to score in three consecutive home games. Their average of 0.7 goals scored per match across their last ten games is particularly low, while they are conceding 1.6 per match. Their league position is also difficult - after the first round they sit fourth, one point outside the play-off places.

Egypt: Targeting a Spot in the Knockout Stage
Egypt come into this match on the back of three wins, one draw and one defeat in their last five games. Across the previous ten meetings, they have recorded four wins, three draws and three losses, averaging 1.4 goals scored and 1.1 conceded per game. Away from home, Egypt tend to be pragmatic - their last five away matches have all produced fewer than three goals. Their objective is to stay in touch with first place. That said, they are not inclined to force things in the early stages of the group phase, preferring a solid, low-risk approach.

Total Prediction
South Sudan have failed to score at home in three matches in a row, which supports the trend of goalless home performances. Egypt also kept a clean sheet in matchday 1. All of this suggests the hosts will very likely go scoreless again. Bet: South Sudan Team Total - Under 0.5 Goals at 1.50*.
Corners Prediction
In Egypt's last 7 away matches, both teams combined for a maximum of 8 corners. In South Sudan's last 5 matches, fewer than 9 corners were recorded. Previously, Egypt's matches against African national teams have also rarely reached 9 corners. Our prediction: Total Corners - Under 8.5 at 1.96*.
Correct Score Prediction
Based on statistics and probability distribution, the algorithm identifies three most likely scorelines: 0-1 (23.46%), 0-0 (17.63%), 0-2 (11.53%). A narrow Egypt win is given the best chance, though a goalless draw or a more comfortable away victory are also considered probable outcomes.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
The scenario points towards a low-scoring match: South Sudan rarely threaten their opponents' goal even at home, while Egypt continue to play carefully away from home without pushing for a big scoreline. Both sides have moderate motivation - the hosts need to close the gap to the play-off places, while the visitors need to stay close to first place without taking unnecessary risks at the start of the tournament. All the key trends point in the same direction: a high-scoring game looks unlikely. Predicted score: 0-1. Editor's prediction: Total Goals - Under 2.5.
