Egypt vs Qatar Team News
Egypt
We can hope to see head coach Carlos Queiroz giving the inexperienced and the youngsters an opportunity at showcasing their talent, since this match is not as significant as the final. Mohamed Sherif could come on to replace Marwan Hamdi, whereas Mohamed Sobhy or Mahmoud Gad might make their international debuts for Egypt.

The Qatari side will give it their all to win this one and grab a third-place spot since the match is set to be played on their home soil. Ali Almoez has been a lethal striker and is also nearing Tunisia’s Seifeddine Jaziri’s numbers in the goal-scoring charts to clench the Golden Boot.

Egypt vs Qatar Prediction FIFA Arab Cup 2021 Third Placed Match
Qatar is the favourite to win and secure a third-place in the tournament given the fact that the match will be played on their home soil and that they are the tournament hosts. They put up a good fight throughout the tournament and were vying to bring the trophy back home but will now have to settle for a bronze medal provided that they win.
The Egyptian side should be proud of their journey so far and can still hope to bag the bronze medal by defeating Qatar, which would be quite humiliating for the hosts.
