Africa Cup of Nations Betting Preview: Egypt vs Zimbabwe

Egypt host Zimbabwe in this Africa Cup of Nations Group B clash at Stade Adrar, with kick-off set for 15:00 on Monday 22 December.

We’re delighted to snap up odds of -154 when it comes to wagering Under 2.5 Goals, with the Total Goals market affording us this value proposition. Mohamed Salah's Egypt and Zimbabwe might fall short of the line.

On board with our Total Goals tip? Make sure you’ve got the latest BetMGM promo code and give our comprehensive site review a read.

Last time out, Egypt suffered a 3–0 defeat to Jordan at Al Bayt Stadium in the FIFA Arab Cup in Qatar, despite recording 63% possession and seven shots on target.

Egypt recorded a 1–0 home victory over Guinea-Bissau in their most recent World Cup qualifier, with Mohamed Hamdy scoring the winner at Cairo International Stadium.

Zimbabwe were beaten in their previous game and this was on their travels. Lesotho claimed a 1-0 World Cup qualifying win at Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane, South Africa.

Head-to-Head Statistics

Egypt had the upper hand in the previous clash between these sides. At Cairo International Stadium, the Pharaohs recorded a 1-0 home victory over Zimbabwe.

Egypt vs Zimbabwe Prediction & Betting Tips

Our Egypt vs Zimbabwe betting preview covers everything you need, including a key match prediction, correct score insight, top player prop bets and a value-packed bet builder recommendation.

Match Prediction

We could be set for a low-scoring Africa Cup of Nations encounter. We will therefore bet on Under 2.5 which can be backed at an eye-catching price of -154, with defences set to be on top for the most part.

We only create the football betting tips after consulting the latest Africa Cup of Nations team news along with the form of both sides. There are also stats that can be mined to good effect to come up with predictions.

Key Egypt vs Zimbabwe stats:

• The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in the last 5 Egypt games at home.
• The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in 9 of the last 10 Egypt games.
• The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in 14 of the last 20 Egypt games at home.
• The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in the last 5 Zimbabwe games.
• The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in 10 of the last 14 Zimbabwe games on the road.
• The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in 7 of the last 10 Zimbabwe games.

According to the latest odds, there’s a 60.6% likelihood of our pick winning. However, we have this number closer to 70% based on our in-depth research. The wager can be recommended for this precise reason.

If you want to boost your Under 2.5 Goals selection at a bigger price, then there’s an opportunity to combine this pick with BTTS No. A Total Goals & Both Teams to Score bet can often make appeal.

Egypt vs Zimbabwe Odds

The odds are updated on a frequent basis. You might therefore find that they are different to the ones listed for the above betting predictions.

With an estimated 75% chance of winning, the bookies are taking few chances with their -294 betting odds about Egypt triumphing in this Africa Cup of Nations clash. If you want to back the outsider, Zimbabwe are available at +1000.

Some insurance is provided if you back Egypt Asian Handicap -1.25 at -120. If they only beat Zimbabwe by a goal, you get half your stake back. A bigger margin of victory and it’s a full payout.

The Total Goals market always provides an interesting angle and Under 2.5 Goals is the shortest-priced option. As long as one team or more fails to score, then the No option on the Both Teams to Score market will pay out at -222.

If you’re wanting hundreds of football markets, then the good news is that the top betting sites can provide this. For any Africa Cup of Nations match, take your pick and hopefully find a winning angle.
