Egypt

Team Outlook

Egypt have a decent chance of advancing as runners-up, relying on defensive solidity. Their key strength is Mohamed Salah's individual brilliance. Their key weakness is a lack of depth beyond Salah, making them predictable in attack. Star player: Mohamed Salah, a lethal finisher who can decide tight matches.
