Preview:

Senegal and Egypt will face each other in the Africa Cup of Nations at Olembe Stadium, Yaounde in the final match. Senegal are doing a good job in the Africa Cup of Nations as they are unbeaten in six matches so far. They are very brilliant at the back and have leaked just two goals while scoring nine times in that run. In the last match of the Africa Cup of Nations, they secured a 3-1 victory over Burkina Faso.

Egypt have registered five wins and a defeat in their last six matches, having scored four goals while leaking two in the Africa Cup of Nations. Although they lost the opening match against Nigeria but bounced back with five consecutive wins and they have the power to come back from any poor result.

Egypt

Top picks:

Mohamed Salah: The 29-year-old Egyptian forward has been a star player for Liverpool for the last four seasons and for his country. He is known for his speed, movement, clinical finishing, dribbling skills, and ball control. He netted a goal against Morocco and his solid form could not be ignored. He will be the best captaincy option for your team.

Sadio Mane: Mane is a versatile player and can play at any of the three positions in the front line. He is naturally a right-footed player but can take shots equally effectively with his left foot. For his country in the Africa Cup of Nations, he has recorded three goals and helped his team to reach the upcoming stages. In his match against Burkina Faso, he scored a goal and will be looking to repeat the same action here.

Captain and vice-captain options:

Mohamed Salah
Sadio Mane
Cheikhou Kouyate
Mohamed Elneny
