There will be fireworks when Argentina and Egypt lock horns in the World Cup last 16. As Argentina seem to be more of a team than Egypt, we predict a 2-0 home win. Argentina needed extra time to overcome Cape Verde 3-2 in the previous round, but Lionel Messi once again proved decisive and now boasts seven goals at the 2026 World Cup. La Albiceleste continue dominating possession with their patient passing game, while Nicolas Tagliafico is expected to replace the injured Facundo Medina. Argentina have been flawless lately, winning each of their last ten matches in all competitions, averaging 3.1 goals scored while conceding only 0.4 per game, with seven clean sheets during that run.
Egypt, meanwhile, edged past Australia on penalties to keep their unbeaten World Cup campaign alive. Karim Hafez remains doubtful after suffering a knock, while Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush are expected to lead the attack once again despite Marmoush searching for top form. Egypt have conceded just 0.7 goals per match across their last ten outings, but with only three wins in that period, they face a huge challenge against the tournament favourites.
Argentina's perfect ten-match winning streak makes them deserved favourites. Therefore, Home Win is our main betting tip for this World Cup matchup, alongside Messi to Score and Under 3.5 goals (Egypt's disciplined defence should prevent a high-scoring encounter despite Argentina's attacking quality).
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Tuesday 7 July 2026 at 17:00.
