Before locking in your Egypt vs. Senegal picks or 2021 Africa Cup of Nations predictions, you HAVE TO see what sports gambling expert John Eimer has to say.
Eimer is a high-volume bettor who has vast knowledge of leagues and players across the globe. Since joining SportsLine, Eimer has covered the English Premier League, Serie A, the FA Cup and much more. The Indiana-based handicapper compiled a winning record of 260-133-1 with over 90 units of profit for his community on various platforms over a recent two-month stretch.
Eimer knows Senegal has a dangerous attack, and that showed in the 3-1 semifinal win against Burkina Faso. The game was scoreless until Abdou Diallo scored in the 70th minute. The Lions scored two more in the remaining 20 minutes, with Bamba Dieng and Sadio Mane finishing it off. Mane is the catalyst, and he has three goals and seven shots on target in the six AFCON matches. The team also is strong on the back end, with Chelsea's Edouard Mendy, the 2021 FIFA Goalkeeper of the Year, holding down the net.
The expert also has taken into account that Egypt has the tournament's most electric player and just knocked off host Cameroon on penalties. Mohamed Salah is the top scorer in the English Premier League with 16 goals and has nine assists (second). He has scored just twice in this tournament, and Egypt has four goals, but it has conceded just twice in six games. The Pharaohs play a physical game that could slow down the Senegalese, and goalkeeper Mohamed El-Shenawy has a 93.8 save percentage at AFCON.
