LiontipsArgentina - Egypt: betting tip (cf 1.74) and bets on the World Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
Argentina confidently overcame the group stage, scoring three wins over Algeria, Austria and Jordan with a total score of 8:1. It seemed that against such a background and with such a game there would be no special problems with Cape Verde in the 1/16 finals. However, it was not possible to achieve another easy victory. Messi did his job in the first half, scored another goal, put the national team ahead, but the opponent bounced back in the second 45 minutes. As a result, it was only in extra time that we managed to snatch a ticket to the 1/8 finals (3:2). The defensive play is not the most confident: the Africans had possession of the ball for only 36% of the playing time, scored only five shots on target, but scored two goals.
Disqualifications and injuries
Balerdi is injured, Medina and Gonzalez are questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- The Argentina national team has not lost by fouls in three of the last four matches.
- In all four matches at the World Cup, the Argentines won in the first half.
Provisional squad: E. Martinez – Molina, Romero, Lisandro Martinez, Tagliafico De Paul, McAllister, Fernandez, Almada – Messi, Lautaro Martinez.
Current form
Egypt did not suffer a single defeat in the group, but took only second place, losing the first place to Belgium on goal difference. Hossam Hassan's team, Belgium and Iran parted ways with the same score 1:1 and confidently beat New Zealand (3:1). In the 1/16 FNAL, the national team did not have the most difficult opponent, Australia. However, an easy walk did not work out. In the pine time and in extra-time, the exact score of 1:1 was recorded, and only in the penalty shootout it was possible to get a ticket to the 1/8 finals. Throughout the tournament, the Egyptians are known for their reliable play at their gates, they did not concede more than one goal. This is the main merit of goalkeeper Shobeyr. Salah and Marmoush usually solo in the attack, which the opponents pay a lot of attention to, respectively, there is more free space for the partners.
Disqualifications and injuries
Fatouh and Abdel Monem are traumatized, Hafez is questionable.
Interesting betting trends

Tip and bets
After the match with Cape Verde, Lionel Scaloni was outraged by the calendar, when at first there were six days of break, and then three and a half. After a difficult battle, 120 minutes of playing time, Fernandez and Medina had muscle cramps, Gonzalez twisted his ankle. It is far from certain that the Argentines have fully recovered. Egypt also had a difficult match in the 1/16 finals, but the players did not have such obvious problems.
The Pharaohs have not conceded more than one goal in the entire tournament, goalkeeper Shobeir is doing an excellent job, the national team is clearly playing second, and in attack it poses a threat to any opponent due to the individual skill of Salah and Marmush. The last time the Egyptians lost by a margin of more than one goal was back in December 2025. We do not think that this series will be interrupted today.
Our betting tip is Egypt with an Asian handicap (+1.5) for a coefficient of 1.74
Bet on the total
Hassan's wards will not play open football with Argentina, they will bet on the usual game of the second number. Scaloni's wards try to act pragmatically, to achieve results, and do not seek to smash their rivals at any cost. In three of the four matches involving the Pharaohs at the World Cup, no more than two goals were scored. We are not expecting an overly productive game today either
The second bet is a total of less than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.81
Betting on corners
In matches involving Argentina, it is not often possible to see a large number of corners. In just two of the previous six matches, there were more than eight serves from the corner flag. Based on this trend, we recommend another bet on the match.
The betting tip is that the total number of corners is less than 8.5 with a coefficient of 1.70
