LiontipsBelgium vs Egypt: betting tip (cf 2.12) and bets on the World Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
In the qualifying tournament for the World Cup, Belgium predictably took first place in the group, but at the same time managed to break away by only two points from Wales, who finished second. At that time, the Belgians impressed with their powerful attacking game, scoring 29 goals in eight matches, but they were not very reliable in defense (seven goals conceded). There were also optional point losses, we can recall the draw with Kazakhstan (1:1). During friendly matches, Rudy Garcia relied on improving defensive cooperation and finding optimal player combinations. Judge by the last sparring sessions, everything worked out. On the eve of the start of the World Cup, the Belgians beat Croatia (2:0) and Tunisia (5:0) without conceding goals.
The current Belgian national team is a great combination of experience and youth. There are Jeremy Doku, Kevin De Bruyne, Juri Thielemans, Romelu Lukaku, Thibaut Courtois, who always have someone to replace. It should be noted that Lukaku is still getting in shape after his injury, but at the same time, in friendly matches, even taking into account the minimum amount of time on the field, he managed to score a goal and two assists.
Disqualifications and injuries
Fas, Mangal, M. Keita, Bakayoko, Openda and Godts are out of the game, Debast is injured.
Interesting betting trends
- There has been no goal exchange in three of the last five matches involving Belgium.
- In four of the previous five matches, Belgium lost by fouls.
Approximate composition: Courtois – Meunier, Mechele, Ngoy, De Cuyper – Onana, Thielemans– Trossard, De Bruyne, Doku – De Ketelare.
Current form
The days when Egypt was the strongest African team are in the past. For 16 years, the Pharaohs have been left without trophies. The recent African Cup of Nations was significant, where they lost to Senegal in the semifinals (0:1), and then lost to Nigeria in a penalty shootout in the third place match. There were no problems in qualifying for the World Cup, but the competition there was not the most difficult, only Burkina Faso was among the most serious opponents.
In preparation for the World Cup, Hossam Hassan's team played two friendly matches, in which they defeated Russia (1-0) and lost to Brazil (1-2). Egypt stands out for its powerful attack, where the stars Salah and Marmoush play the first roles. At the same time, almost no one can be mentioned in defense, and this can become a significant problem on the eve of the game against Belgium.
Disqualifications and injuries
Hamdi, Fawad and Issa are on the injured list.
Interesting betting trends
- In 9 of the last 14 matches of the Egyptian national team, fewer than four offsides were recorded.
- In three consecutive matches with the participation of the Egyptians, a draw was recorded at the end of the first half.
Approximate line-up: El–Shenawi - Hani, Abdelmagid, Abdelmonem, Fatouh – Lashin, Ateya – Salah, Zico, Trezeguet – Marmouche.
Trends

1st halfbet: draw

The bet is an accurate score of 2:0
The Belgian national team has scored three of its last four victories with a "dry" score.
Tip and bets
The Belgians deservedly act as the obvious favorite in the line of bookmakers. First of all, the national team is much better equipped in all areas. Egypt's attack, led by Salah and Marmoush, stands out, while there is no one to mention in defense. And this is a key moment in the confrontation with the powerful offensive line of the upcoming opponent.
On the eve of the start of the World Cup, Rudy Garcia's team sparred with another African national team, Tunisia, scored four goals without any problems, and had no problems overcoming the saturated defense. Belgium had problems defending during qualifying, but now they have clearly improved here, they played two matches to zero with Croatia and Tunisia. We do not see any prerequisites for a sensation in the upcoming game, due to the depth of the squad, the favorite is able to confidently score three points.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (-1) for Belgium by a factor of 2.12
Bet on the total
Belgium's attack played out the qualification at a high level, scoring 29 goals in eight matches played. There were also no problems with scoring goals in friendly matches: in three of the four matches, they scored at least twice. We expect that the Belgians will be able to open Egypt's defenses at least twice today.
The second bet is Belgium's individual goal total of more than 1.5 with a coefficient of 1.81
Betting on shots on target
The Belgians, no matter who they play against, always aim at someone else's goal and play bold attacking football. It is no coincidence that in the previous six matches, the national team scored more shots on target than the opponents. We do not expect this trend to fail today.
Prediction – Belgium wins by shots on target with a handicap (-2.5) with a coefficient of 2.10
