-----------------------------------------------------
The game will be played in Morocco, as the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has not accredited Ethiopia's stadiums.

The Pharaohs are looking to get a step closer to reaching their fourth ever World Cup.

A win for Egypt would extend their lead at the group's top and maintain their unbeaten run in the qualifiers. Ethiopia, however, will be desperate for a victory to keep their hopes alive.

Ethiopia have drawn their last two games in the World Cup qualifiers, including a 1-1 away draw against Djibouti in June. They were last in action in the African Nations Championship qualification phase in December and suffered a 4-1 loss on aggregate to Sudan.

The visitors saw their winning streak in the World Cup qualifiers end after three games in June as they were held to a 1-1 away draw at Guinea-Bissau. Mohamed Salah scored the equalizer in the 70th minute.

Nowgoal Prediction: Egypt to win!
Our prediction is to confidently back Egypt on the 1x2 market for this Africa World Cup qualifier. You can get 1.21 that they get the upper hand by the full-time whistle.
Backing Egypt -1.5 on the Asian Lines is trading at bigger odds but means you would need a two-goal margin of victory.
