Belgium vs Egypt

Belgium’s recent form is clearly stronger. Across their last 10 matches, they have 7 wins and 3 draws with no defeats, including a 5-0 win over Tunisia, a 2-0 win over Croatia, and a 5-2 win over the USA. Egypt, by contrast, are 4 wins, 4 draws, and 2 losses in their last 10. They have shown some defensive resilience, but the number of draws keeps their overall profile a bit lower here.

The head-to-head sample is limited and consists entirely of friendlies. There have been no draws in the last three meetings, with Belgium winning twice and Egypt once. Egypt won the most recent meeting 2-1 in 2022. That means the H2H data is useful as background, but it should not carry too much weight versus current form.

The latest 1X2 prices make Belgium a clear favorite at 1.62, with Egypt at 5.70, and the handicap sits around Belgium -0.75. That broadly matches the recent-form picture. Still, this is a World Cup match at a neutral venue, and there is no confirmed lineup data available, so the conclusion should remain cautious.
