Australia and Egypt take on each other at AT&T Stadium in a tightly balanced last-32 clash, with 1-1 our predicted outcome. Australia progressed from the group stage thanks to a disciplined 0-0 draw with Paraguay, where they limited their opponents to just 0.30 expected goals against (xGA). Their identity has been built on structure and defensive organisation, with 1.1 goals conceded per game across their last ten matches. However, their attacking output remains inconsistent, scoring just 1.0 goal per game and failing to score in 50% of their recent matches. Tony Popovic’s side will again rely on compact lines and transitions to trouble Egypt. Forward Mathew Leckie remains injured for Australia.
Egypt come into this match unbeaten in their group stage encounters against Belgium and Iran, both ending in draws, alongside a solid 3-1 win over New Zealand. Mohamed Salah is expected to return to the starting XI after a brief concern, while Mohanad Lasheen is suspended and Mohamed Abdelmonem is a major doubt due to injury. Egypt average 1.4 goals scored per game and concede just 0.8, highlighting a balanced and disciplined setup.
As both teams are defensively strong and tend to play low-scoring matches, we are tempted to bet on Under 2.5 goals, alongside Half-Time Draw and Draw.
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Friday 3 July 2026 at 19:00.
