Egypt Odds Underpriced
Going by the FIFA rankings alone, Australia are the stronger side, being ranked 27th over 29th-ranked Egypt.
However, we feel Egypt could have the control the tempo of the game from the first whistle because they actually play in a more competitive division.
Egypt Current Form Compared
Since the World Cup group stages, Egypt have shown the stronger form. They finished unbeaten and advanced through a more difficult group. This factor, in our view, gives them a slight edge over Australia.
Head-to-head Appearances
In their only ever meeting, Egypt beat Australia 3-0. History could repeat itself tonight. Or it could not.
Secondary Betting Prediction
Our secondary match prediction for Australia vs Egypt is under 3.5 goals. Already, we are backing Egypt to have more goal-scoring chances.
But then again, Egypt have not scored over 1.5 goals in the past five games. So a reasonable outcome would be 2-1 to either side.
