Egypt vs Senegal: Prediction, kick off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results for World Cup playoff

Egypt and Senegal face off on Friday night in the first leg of their World Cup qualifier as they go head-to-head for a place in Qatar.

The sides met less than two months ago in the Africa Cup of Nations final, and it was Senegal who came out on top that day as they won on penalties following a goalless draw.

Their attention now turns to a two-legged tie for a World Cup spot, with Egypt having home advantage in the first leg. Liverpool duo Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane will once again take much of the focus.
