Comments and predictions for Djibouti vs Egypt: Nightmare for the home team
The match between Djibouti vs Egypt in the World Cup qualifiers takes place at 11:00 p.m. on October 8. Nghe An Newspaper, Radio and Television analyzes performance, makes football comments and predicts the score.
Latest Djibouti vs Egypt team information
Djibouti were without their two top scorers in qualifying – Gabriel Dadzie and Samuel Akinbinu (2 goals each) – who have both been absent since March, further limiting their already weak attack.
Goalkeeper Omar Mohamed only conceded two goals in the previous round, and it is unclear whether coach Nado will continue to trust the 23-year-old in the match against Egypt.
On the Egyptian side, Omar Marmoush – despite being called up to the initial squad – had to withdraw due to injury, leaving coach Hossam Hassan without an important attacking option.
Mohamed Salah, despite his poor form for Liverpool this season, is still the biggest hope in the “Pharaohs” attack, with 7 goals in the qualifying round – just 1 less than Gabon’s Denis Bouanga. Salah will be determined to equal or surpass that record.
Meanwhile, Trezeguet – former Aston Villa striker – has 5 goals and also aims to improve his performance when facing the weakest team in the group.

Latest football commentary Djibouti vs Egypt
Despite great efforts, Djibouti still could not win all 3 points after seven matches in the World Cup qualifiers.
Coach Stephane Nado only took over in June, but by then the bottom-placed side's chances of qualifying for the tournament had all but ended, making their first appearance in the finals unlikely.
Currently, Djibouti can only compete for the second-to-last position in Group A, but that is also very unlikely when they have to "host" Egypt on neutral ground in Morocco, while Ethiopia is five points ahead of them.
After eight matches, Djibouti have only scored four goals but conceded 28 – a number that clearly reflects the difference in skill level. They entered the penultimate match hoping to limit the number of goals conceded.
The “Sons of the Red Sea” have conceded 6 goals three times (against Egypt, Ethiopia and Burkina Faso), and received 4 more goals in the match against Burkina Faso, accounting for a total of 22/28 goals they have conceded.
As for their opponents, Egypt only need one more point to officially qualify for the World Cup for the fourth time in history. This task seems within reach when they face the bottom team Djibouti.
After 8 unbeaten matches (6 wins, 2 draws), Hossam Hassan and his team are one of five unbeaten teams in the African qualifying round, along with Senegal, Morocco, Ivory Coast and Tunisia.
Only Guinea-Bissau and Burkina Faso are the only two teams to keep Egypt out of the game, with last month's 0-0 draw against Burkina Faso the only time they failed to score this campaign.
In theory, Egypt could still lose the top spot if they lose both remaining matches and Burkina Faso wins, but that scenario is very unlikely. The most likely scenario is that the North African team will have an easy win against Djibouti to complete the task.
