The class difference is evident. Egypt enters the match as the clear favorite. The Group A leaders are confidently navigating the qualifiers, leading their nearest rival by five points and aiming to secure the top spot. Djibouti are unlikely to pose a serious challenge—having conceded 28 goals in eight matches, the worst defensive record in the continental qualifiers. Given that the odds favor the "Pharaohs," it makes sense they're not high. Our prediction: Djibouti to win with a handicap (+4.5)—this bet has won in 10 consecutive national team matches. However, a rout of the hosts seems inevitable to us—0:4.
