After four weeks and 50 matches between 24 teams, the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations concludes at the Paul Biya Stadium in Olembe, Cameroon on Sunday evening as Senegal face Egypt.

A 3-1 win in Wednesday’s semi-final against Burkina Faso, with goals from Abdou Diallo, Idrissa Gueye, and Sadio Mane, helped the Lions of Teranga reach the final of the competition for a third time.

Senegal have never won the Africa Cup of Nations – a record they will be hoping to put right on Sunday evening – despite two appearances in the final before now.

Egypt are the most successful team in the history of the AFCON with seven titles under their belt, but can they make it No.8 on Sunday?

Liverpool teammates Mane and Mohamed Salah will go head to head in this one with glory and a place in the history books at stake.

Our prediction: Senegal v Egypt

Neither side has managed to make the most of their glittering crown jewel in this tournament so far, a magical display from either Mane or Salah could swing the tie in their team’s favour.

However, Senegal boast a range of elite talents throughout their squad on top of Mane, from goalkeeper Edouard Mendy to Kalidou Koulibaly and Idrissa Gueye to Ismaila Sarr.

Egypt’s starting XI were taken all the way to penalties on Thursday night and could have some tired legs among the usual starters in the final.

Expect a tight game, but Senegal should find a way through and when they do, they could capitalise and run away with the game.

Our prediction: Senegal 2-0 Egypt (7/1 at bet365)
