AFCON 2021: Cameroon vs Egypt live
Preview
The AFCON 2021 last semi-final game kicks off today between the host nations Cameroon and Egypt today at 19:00 GMT at the Stade Omnisport Paul Biya, Yaounde. The winner from this game will face Senegal in the final while the team that loses will face Burkina Faso in the 3rd and 4th playoffs.
Cameroon has been one of the dominant sides in the AFCON 2021 tournament and they also have the top two goal scorers in the competition leading their attack; Ekambi with 5 goals and Aboubakar with 6 goals. Cameroon’s last five games have all been in the AFCON 2021 tournament and have won four and drawn one. They have been one of the most clinical teams in front of goal this season.
Egypt on the other hand have been quite impressive in the AFCON 2021 tournament considering that they have faced much tougher opponents on their way to the semi-final. They have lost just a game from their last five games together with three wins and a draw, which all happen to be in the tournament.

Head-to-head
Both teams have faced off once, during the 2017 AFCON final where Cameroon won 2-1.
Prediction
Egypt has a slightly higher chance to win this game because they have had much experience in facing tougher opponents in this tournament. However, Cameroon’s deadly attack also gives them an equal advantage. This could be a problem as Egypt has conceded just two goals in the competition so far. Both team are likely to score.
