Favourites Egypt are represented by the Sun, ruler of the 1st house and Venus, ruler of the 10th house.
Ghana are signified by Saturn and Mars, rulers of the opposing 7th and 4th houses.
The Moon’s only applying aspect over the 5-degree limit considered most effective for a 90-minute football match is a trine to Mars; a powerful testimony for Ghana.
The antiscion of the Part of Fortune (at 28 Sagittarius 51) is conjunct Pluto: In his book “Sports Astrology, John Frawley observes that this a powerful testimony against the favourites. The Sun’s applying conjunction with Pluto might make things tricky for Egypt as well.
Overall, the chart inclines in favour of Ghana. The only testimony in favour of Egypt is the placement of the antiscion of the Moon, which at 23 Leo 19 is placed just inside the 1st house cusp. Whether this is strong enough to overrule the malevolent influence of Pluto remains to be seen.
