In recent matches, Mauritania failed to score against teams like Cape Verde, Sudan, Morocco, and Mali. It is unlikely they will find the net even once against Egypt away. The hosts are expected to be the only team likely to score.

We anticipate a significant advantage for the Egyptian national team, leading us to bet on their victory in corner kicks as well.
