For the second time in history, Egypt and Russia will be facing off; this time it is in a friendly match. Egypt plays host in Cairo and with both nations showing inconsistency in recent outings a draw looks like a good prediction here.
Egypt’s only earlier meeting with Russia was in Russia at the 2018 World Cup. They lost the game 3-1 and here they have the chance to revenge, at home.
Egypt will be facing a European nation for the second straight time after drawing 0-0 with Spain in the last international break. The Pharaohs bring forth a sturdy defence, having conceded just once in the last four matches.
Russia are still serving their indefinite suspension from FIFA. It is getting to five years now without competitive action but they rank just seven places behind Egypt.
They will be here targeting a second win against Egypt, in their second straight game against an African side. Last time out, they drew 0-0 with Mali in another friendly, keeping a first clean sheet in four games but they’ve only won once in the same period.
In their last four away matches, though, Russia managed straight wins, but none of the teams matched Egypt’s caliber. The visitors will still be seeking improvement after failing to win any of the earlier six away games, drawing five.

Our Egypt vs Russia Prediction
Egypt are preparing for their third World Cup appearance and will attach a lot of importance to this game. They face a Russian side that’s quite unpredictable, having not been in competitive action since November 2021. One highlight for both sides is their inconsistency with results.
Each has won just once in the last four matches as they go into their second meeting in history. Russia won their only meeting, at home in the 2018 World Cup but they might have some difficulty replicating that. Our prediction for Egypt v Russia is for a draw.
