Australia vs Egypt Prediction World Cup Today

Correct Score: Egypt 1-0 Win (+480)

This is one of the weaker Round of 32 matchups. I think we're in for a low-scoring, low-chance game. Oddsmakers do, too, as under 2.5 goals is listed at -220 odds.

While I nearly wrote up Egypt's moneyline (+145), I'm taking a bigger swing and backing Egypt to win 1-0 in the correct score market.

Australia's matches have been pretty uneventful so far as they've scored only two goals but also conceded just two goals. Egypt has been somewhat similar, scoring five goals and giving up three.

To me, the difference in this match can be the high-end talent Egypt has at the top end of the pitch -- namely Omar Marmoush and Mohamed Salah. I'm banking on a defensive-minded game from both sides and for one of Egypt's stars to create something for The Pharaohs.
