Egypt will be out for revenge as they take on Senegal in a crucial World Cup playoff clash at the Cairo International Stadium
Egypt would still be reeling over the agonizing penalty shootout defeat at the hands of Senegal in the AFCON final. That game was quite a cagey affair and no one was in the mood to throw caution to the wind.
This time around though, the Pharaohs would be eager to move on from that heartbreaking defeat and will look to draw first blood. Egypt have been unbeaten in the qualifying campaign. They haven’t lost their last seven games at home so will be eager to do well against the reigning African champions.
