Senegal vs Egypt: Preview

Despite narrowly beating Mali in the last eight, Senegal were helped by Yves Bissouma's sending off at the end of the first half in that contest.

Ndiaye's form in the Premier League has carried over, and the talented forward may have added another couple of noughts onto his price tag with his latest batch of performances.

A Man-of-the-Match display last time out will be cause for concern for Egypt, with the 25-year-old a livewire to say the very least.

The Lions of Teranga appear to have a fully-fit squad, with Sadio Mane expected to continue in attack.

Egypt lost their last head-to-head with Senegal back in 2022 in World Cup qualifying, which may be a cause for concern.

The Pharaoh's result of the tournament so far has been eliminating the holders in the quarter-finals, but another tough test now approaches.

Salah scored the third goal in that game and has now seen his tally for the tournament grow to four, just one behind leading scorer Brahim Diaz, who has five.

In terms of injuries, Defender Mohamed Hamdi will not be available for selection after injuring his knee in the first half against Benin, which means Ahmed Fatouh should come in.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Senegal 2-1 Egypt

Senegal's defence is one of the strongest at the tournament, and they will need to be on top form to stop Salah and co. We are predicting them to progress.
