AFCON Final Preview<\/h2>\n

Senegal face Egypt in this year\u2019s AFCON Final as Senegal looks to lift the cup for the very first time while Egypt looks to lift their eighth Africa Cup of Nations title, and their first since 2017.<\/p>\n

Senegal Look to Reverse Heartbreak<\/h3>\n

This stage is something Senegal manager Aliou Cisse knows all too well as he\u2019s lost two African Cup of Nations finals over the course of his career, once as a player and another as a manager.<\/p>\n

However, the \u2018Lions of Teranga\u2019 are favorites here for a reason as they\u2019ve gone unbeaten since July with each of their last three victories coming via a two-goal margin.<\/p>\n

Egypt’s Experience Seeing them Through<\/h3>\n

The \u2018Pharaoh\u2019s\u2019 haven\u2019t been in the greatest goal scoring form over this cup campaign so far, netting just twice in the group stage overall and just once in regulation since the knockout round began.<\/p>\n

However, that big game experience and ability to grind out results has seen them through, proving invaluable against the smaller nations, with Egypt\u2019s defense giving up just two goals inside the 90 minutes all tournament, one of them a penalty.<\/p>\n

AFCON Final: Senegal vs. Egypt Prediction<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s hard to look past Senegal lifting their first African Cup of Nations title here on Sunday, especially with what we\u2019ve seen from them so far in this competition.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Lions of Teranaga\u2019 have gained momentum as the tournament has progressed, winning each of their knockout games by at least a two-goal margin, have had an extra day to prepare for this game and have beaten Egypt \u2018to nil\u2019 in both of their most recent head-to-head\u2019s against them.<\/p>\n

While Egypt should never be completely discounted in finals like this due to their overall experience and ability to grind out results in big games, Senegal look like the team poised to become victorious on Sunday as they\u2019ll be the fresher team in this match and the one who\u2019ve played the better football over this campaign as well.<\/p>\n

Take Senegal to win the AFCON Final on Sunday<\/strong> for the very first time this weekend against Egypt.<\/p>\n
