AFCON: Senegal vs Egypt 14/01/2026

Betting on Cards

Tomorrow’s AFCON clash between Senegal and Egypt has all the makings of a real on-field battle, and the option of over 5 cards looks very well supported. When two of the most physically dominant teams in African football meet, tactics often take a back seat to aggression. Egypt are masters at breaking up the game with small fouls and provocations as soon as they feel pressure, while Senegal respond with hard tackles and a very high level of intensity.

The stakes are huge, and the history of their meetings shows that tension tends to rise as the match goes on. Key players like Mané and Salah will be under constant attention, which often leads to late or aggressive challenges worthy of a yellow card. If the referee fails to set a strict standard early on, the game can easily slip out of control in the second half. A line of 5 cards is realistic, as neither side hesitates to use “dirty” tactics to protect a result, and we’ve already seen in Senegal’s match against Mali how quickly things can escalate when a real confrontation breaks out.
