Senegal vs Egypt Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | AFCON 2025 semi-final

The Lions of Teranga emerged victorious when they last faced the Pharaohs.

The Senegal national football team are now going to have a face-off against the Egypt national football team in the semifinals of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. This high-stakes game will take place at the Ibn Batouta Stadium.

The Lions of Teranga are coming in after securing a 1-0 win against Mali in their last eight fixture of the African competition. Even though it was a close contest, the Senegal national football team were calm and composed, which eventually helped them secure a win. The upcoming contest will not be an easy outing.

The Egypt national football team outplayed the Ivory Coast in their quarter-final fixture of the 2025 AFCON. They looked good in the attacking front, but need to do work in the defensive back. The Pharaohs are going to put up a strong fight against Senegal, but it will be a tough game for them too.
