The Group D encounter between Egypt and Ethiopia will be a mere formality with nothing up for grabs.
However, bettors can still make informed bets on this match. Let’s briefly highlight a few tips that could aid your prediction.
Team Lineup
As we stated earlier, there’s nothing at stake for both sides as Egypt already sealed qualification and Ethiopia was eliminated.
For this reason, both sides might not field their best XI. Therefore, it would be wise to see the lineup prior to the game before making your AFCON betting decision.

Egypt Analysis
Egypt holds the record for the most AFCON titles (7), so it’s not surprising that they have already secured their place in the tournament. They currently top Group D with 12 points, having won 4 games from 5.
They face Ethiopia in their final qualifying group game, without any pressure.
We anticipate that they will secure maximum points as they are the better squad and have the superior team, but the Pharaohs could decide to field an inferior team. Regardless, they are the favourite side and could make it 5 wins out of 6 come September.
Ethiopia Analysis
With one game less, Ethiopia has been eliminated from the AFCON 2023 qualifying phase. While a victory could have rejuvenated their chances until the final day, they played a goalless draw with Malawi on Matchday 5, dashing their hopes.
All the same, the Walia Ibex would want to make a statement win against the Pharaohs and leave with their head held high. We’d see what happens with this match by September, but it is an incontrovertible fact that they are underdogs coming into the game.
