Tip Reasoning
Nigeria are averaging 1.5 goals scored per-game across their last six outings.
Egypt scored at least once within 90 minutes in 15 of their last 17 matches.
Three of the last five H2H meetings saw both teams score.
Clash of the titans

Here we have potentially the pick of the opening group stage matches, as three-time AFCON winners Nigeria meet record seven-time winners Egypt in a clash of African titans. Both nations are expected to progress from this group, so it would be no surprise to see these two go hammer and tong for a positive start.

Nigeria’s squad is filled with talented players, many of whom are plying their trade in Europe’s top leagues, with no fewer than five players plying their trade in the English Premier League. Notably, Leicester’s Kelechi Iheanacho recently contributed to three goals against Manchester City and it would be no surprise if he provides the outlet for Nigeria in this clash.

On the other hand we have Egypt, led by their poster boy, the talismanic Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah. Since winning the tournament in three consecutive editions between 2006-2010, Egypt only managed to get as far as the round of 16 in the 2019 edition. As such, the Pharaohs will be at it from the off in this clash in search of a better performance.

A real end-to-end affair

All in all, I predict that both teams will score in this clash between two sides desperate to improve on recently underwhelming tournament performances. However, I do think they could end up cancelling one another out, which is why I believe 1-1 looks a decent pick in the correct score market.

提示推理
尼日利亚在过去六场比赛中场均进球1.5个。
埃及在最近的17场比赛中有15场在90分钟内至少打进一球。
在过去的五次H2H比赛中，有三次两队都得分了。
泰坦之战

在这里，我们有可能选择的开局阶段的比赛，三次AFCON冠军尼日利亚与创纪录的七次冠军埃及在非洲巨人的冲突。这两个国家都有望在这个小组中取得进展，所以看到这两个国家为了一个积极的开始而全力以赴也就不足为奇了。

尼日利亚的球队充满了才华横溢的球员，其中许多人在欧洲顶级联赛踢球，至少有5名球员在英超联赛踢球。值得注意的是，莱斯特城的Kelechi Iheanacho最近在对阵曼城的比赛中贡献了3个进球，如果他在这场比赛中为尼日利亚提供出口也就不足为奇了。

另一方面，我们有埃及，由他们的偶像，利物浦前锋穆罕默德·萨拉赫领导。自2006-2010年连续三届赢得世界杯以来，埃及只在2019年世界杯上进入了16强。因此，法老们将在这场冲突中从一开始就在寻找更好的表现。

真正的端到端的事情

总而言之，我预测这两支球队都将在这场比赛中进球，这两支球队都渴望在最近平淡的比赛中有所进步。然而，我确实认为它们最终会相互抵消，这就是为什么我认为1-1看起来在正确的得分市场是一个不错的选择。
