Egypt vs Sierra Leone prediction, H2H and probable lineups - March 25, 2025
One of the matches in the sixth round of World Cup qualification will be played on Tuesday in Cairo, where the Egyptian national team will host Sierra Leone. I suggest betting on the outcome of this match with a good odd.
Match Preview
The Egyptian national team remains one of Africa's leading football teams, despite some disappointing performances in major tournaments in recent years. In the qualifying cycle for the 2026 World Cup, the "Pharaohs" have demonstrated their strength, confidently leading the group with 13 points after five matches, confirming their status as one of the continent's favorites.
Last week, Egypt played an away match against Ethiopia and secured a 2-0 victory. In the Africa Cup of Nations qualification, Egypt also looked very confident, starting with four consecutive wins. Only in the last game did they allow themselves a slight relaxation, ending the match with Cape Verde in a draw (1:1), but this did not prevent them from finishing the qualification in first place.
As for the Sierra Leone national team, they started the World Cup qualifying cycle quite poorly. However, they managed to defeat Djibouti at home – 2:1 and Guinea-Bissau in the last round – 3:1. As a result, the team climbed to third place in the standings, trailing Burkina Faso only by tiebreakers.
At the same time, Sierra Leone began the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualification with a draw against Chad (0:0), but then faced serious challenges, losing to Zambia and Ivory Coast. In the fourth round, the team gave their fans hope by achieving an unexpected victory over the Ivorians at home (1:0). However, in the next match, they drew again with Chad (1:1). Ultimately, the "Leopards" finished in third place.
