Egypt Pharaohs have won 7 African Cup of Nations title up to date and according to popular predictions, they will scoop their 8th in today. The AFCON final kicks off this Sunday evening of February 12, 2022, and the 2017 runners-up Egypt will face 2019 runners-up Senegal.

Meanwhile, the Lions of Teranga will be looking to win their first after losing the 2019 final to Algeria. Senegal and Egypt have played each other at AFCON 4 times and what is making this time match even more exciting is that Liverpool stars and co-players Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane will face each other as rivals.

Netizens fans argue that the Pharaohs are tactically the best side, with a squad of players who almost entirely play in the same league Premier League, thus synchrony and unity which the Lions lack.

Who will take the cup? I would love to hear your prediction and why in the comment section!
