Egypt vs Australia Prediction

In their only previous meeting back in 2010 in a friendly game, Egypt won easily by 3-0 goals.

In this Egypt vs Australia Prediction, Egypt is coming as +150 favorites. Egypt has been undefeated in the group stages of the World Cup and have a much better offense than Australia, having scored 5 total goals compared to Australia’s two. I just cannot back a team that has failed to score in two of its three games played, like Australia and Egypt has also more average expected goals and the best player in the court in Mohamed Salah. I will take a stab with the Egypt straight up on the moneyline for an excellent +150 price.
