Egypt vs Benin predictions cover Africa Cup of Nations, Round of 16 on 5 Jan 2026. Kick-off is listed for Monday, 5 January 2026 at 17:00 CET. This preview brings together the prediction lean, community voting, recent form, head-to-head notes and team context in one place. Because this is the predictions tab, the copy focuses on the pre-match view rather than live in-play swings after kick-off.
Archived pre-match prediction notes are unavailable for this fixture, so the page does not publish a reconstructed pregame lean.
Recent form gives the first matchup clue: over the last five, Egypt have taken 6 points while Benin have taken 7. That comes from Egypt taking 1 win and Benin taking 2 wins in that span. Goal trend sits at Egypt +1 and Benin -4.
Season and schedule context add season pace at Egypt 2.33 points per game versus Benin 1 and venue split at 0 home points per game against 0 away points per game. These details help separate a simple prediction percentage from the rhythm each team brings into the match.
Recent head-to-head context lists Egypt 1 recent H2H win, Benin 0 recent H2H wins, and 0 draws, which adds rivalry history without treating older meetings as more important than current form.
Underlying team metrics add chance creation score at Egypt 12.9 versus Benin 6.8 and clean-sheet rate at 67% against 33%, giving the prediction a check against chance creation, defensive resistance and match-control signals.
