Main Match Prediction

The two teams aren’t expected to deliver on the goals front and that means we will bet Under 2.5. This World Cup pick could be a sensible play and that’s particularly the case on the basis that odds of -130 are available.

Plenty of research goes into our football picks. It begins by focusing on the latest World Cup form and knowing the injury situation. The important numbers can then be utilised to help complete the picture.

Key stats supporting our main match prediction:

  • The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in 7 of the last 12 Argentina competitive games.
  • Argentina have kept a clean sheet in 8 of their 11 last games.
  • The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in 5 of the last 7 Egypt competitive games.
Under 2.5 Probability

According to the top bookmakers, our pick has a 56.5% chance of landing a return. Taking all factors into consideration, our tipsters think there’s a stronger chance of success and have a probability interval between 60-65%. This bet can therefore be backed with confidence.

Argentina vs Egypt Odds

The odds and lines below are updated regularly and may differ from the prices shown in our picks, which are captured at the time of publication.

Argentina Big Favourites to Win

The Full-Time Result odds suggest that Argentina have a 74% prospect of triumphing which results in the fact that they’re strong -286 favourites to win this World Cup encounter. If you’re searching for a different slant, outsiders Egypt are available at +850.

Backing Argentina -1.25 on the Asian Handicap splits your stake between -1 and -1.5 at -122. You need a two-goal margin of victory against Egypt for a full payout and there’s money back on half your stake if they win by one.

Under 2.5 Goals is operating at the shortest price for those anticipating two or less goals. Both Teams to Score No is chalked up at -200 for anyone predicting one side or more to fail to find the net.

If you head to the best football betting sites, you can take your pick when it comes to World Cup matches. The hundreds of markets always ensure lots of choice.
