Argentina vs. Egypt World Cup Preview
Messi and the champs had a tough time against Cape Verde in the World Cup Round of 32, and they are up against another underdog now – Egypt. Pharaons have no pressure coming into this one, while we can’t say the same for the Gauchos.

Argentina Team News & Stats
The champions are riding an 11-game winning streak right now, after an OT triumph over Cape Verde 3-2. Lionel Messi is magical, scoring 7 goals and leading the way in the top goalscorer list.
Argentina is excellent on the offensive side of the ball, netting 11 goals so far, while allowing just 3. Truth be told, their rivals haven’t been top-tier, and the strongest one so far has been Austria.
Likely Lineup: E. Martinez; Molina, Romero, Lisandro M., Medina; De Paul, Mac Allister, Fernandez, Almada; Messi, Lautaro M.
Egypt Team News & Stats
Egypt deserved to eliminate Australia, and that’s our personal opinion. We even think the Pharaohs should have done that before the penalties. Anyway, the Round of 16 is the biggest success for Salah and the guys, and they have nothing to lose against Argentina, which puts them in a good position.
All 4 of their World Cup fixtures have ended with both teams scoring, and 3 of them featured moderate efficiency, meaning 2 or 3 goals.
Likely Lineup: Shobeir; Hany, Ibrahim, Rabia, Hafez; Ateya, Saber; Ziko, Salah, Ashour; Marmoush
Head to Head
Throughout history, we’ve seen two matches between countries. One at the 1928 Olympics, where Argentina won 6-0, and the other in 2008, a friendly, which concluded with Gauchos winning 2-0.
Argentina vs. Egypt World Cup Predictions
We will bet on Argentina’s win here, and nothing more than that. Sure, the odds aren’t great, but don’t try to increase them by adding more conditions. Now is not the time for that. This will be a hard and tough game, and the only advice we are giving is to bet on Argentina’s victory after 90 minutes.
