Egypt – Benin: a spot in the quarter-finals up for grabs 
Egypt face Benin on Monday at Adrar Stadium, aiming to reach the quarter-finals of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Egypt: favourites but still a work in progress 
Egypt finished top of their group, conceding few goals. Two consecutive clean sheets helped the Pharaohs qualify without too much trouble.
Results are good, but the performances have been uneven at times. The team gave away several chances, especially against South Africa and Angola.
With several key attackers expected back, Egypt will look to put in a more convincing display in this knockout match.
Benin: already a successful run 
Benin reached the round of 16 as one of the best third-placed teams. The win over Botswana was enough to keep their run going.
The campaign is respectable, but the level steps up sharply against Egypt. Previous matches versus higher-ranked teams exposed some attacking limitations.
To have any hope of an upset, Benin will need to be rock-solid at the back.
Probable lineups
Egypt :
El Shenawy ; Hany, Ibrahim, Rabia, Hamdi ; Attia, Fathy, Zizo ; Salah, Marmoush, Trezeguet
Benin :
Dandjinou ; Ouorou, Verdon, Tijani, Roche ; Imourane, Attidjikou ; Tosin, Dodo, Olaitan ; Mounie
What to take away
- Egypt remain solid at the back.
- Benin have already achieved their main objective.
- On paper the gap in quality is significant.
- Knockout match.
Football prediction Egypt vs Benin

First, a word on our predictions
- What we publish on Mathodds are analyses, nothing more. We give an opinion, a snapshot of the moment, but never a guarantee. Sport is what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal… and the whole script flips.
- Let’s be clear: there’s no such thing as a risk-free bet. Even when something looks “obvious”, it’s not. Yes, that means you can lose. It’s inevitable at some point.
- The best approach is to be sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live on. And above all: don’t chase your losses — it rarely ends well.
- A bet should stay a hobby, not a job or a source of income. If it starts taking over your life, making you anxious or stressed, take a break. If needed, talk to a specialised organisation. That’s what they’re for.
- Ultimately, the responsibility is yours. Reading our content means you accept that risk exists and won’t disappear, even with the best analysis in the world.
- Important reminder: betting is forbidden for minors and must comply with your country’s laws. Gambling can spiral quickly (financial losses, family tensions, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment from us
Our predictions don’t form a contract. They carry no legal weight. Plain and simple: you can’t rely on them to claim anything if a bet loses.
Info that can change
A prediction is always based on what we know when we write it. But in the meantime, a team sheet can change, a player can get injured, the weather can turn… and the analysis can quickly be out of date. We can’t be held responsible for that.
Your role
Before betting, simply check that gambling is legal where you live. If it’s not, that’s your responsibility, not ours.
Responsible gambling above all
We’ll say it again: gamble responsibly. If you’re struggling to keep control, don’t wait to seek help. We’re not responsible for compulsive or excessive use of the information published on the site.
