Both teams have seen over 2.5 goals in 3 out of 5 matches and under 2.5 in 2 out of 5. By halves: over 1.5 goals in the first half occurred once in 5 matches for both teams, and over 1.5 in the second half occurred 3 out of 5 times. Senegal most frequently scores between the 31st-45th and 76th-90th minutes (29% each), while Egypt scores between the 31st-45th and 61st-75th minutes (29% each). Conceded goals: Senegal most often concedes between the 61st-75th minutes (33%), Egypt evenly across four intervals (16-30, 31-45, 61-75, 76-90) at 25% each. The goal and total statistics suggest both teams can create chances, especially in the second half. The option for total over 2.0 is at 1.85, which seems justified given such scoring statistics. This bet allows for a refund if there are two goals, and a full win if there are three or more.

Corner Totals Analysis

On average, Senegal takes 6 corners per match, and Egypt 4.4. For total over 9.5 corners: Senegal has 2 out of 5 over, Egypt 4 out of 5 over. Combined, the average for both teams is 10.4. The line offers a total of 9.5 corners: over 9.5 is at 2.36, under 9.5 at 1.45. Given this statistic, a bet on over 9.5 corners seems interesting, considering both teams frequently take corners and the average exceeds the line. Individually, Senegal consistently maintains a high level of corner deliveries, and Egypt can also keep up the pace. The option for over 9.5 corners could be considered an additional idea for the match.
