Egypt should be full of belief after last week’s 3-1 win over New Zealand, a result that showed a lot more polish and control than their opening draw with Belgium.
They moved the ball with more purpose, found better pockets in the final third, and looked far more dangerous once Mohamed Salah started getting involved in the right areas.
Iran are never easy to break down and will likely make this a physical, stop-start contest, but Egypt’s confidence should be high after that New Zealand performance. If they can carry the same tempo and composure into this one, they look well placed to get another result.
Prediction: Egypt to Win @ $2.35
Value: Both Teams to Score @ $2.10
Player Pick: Mo Salah to Have 2+ Shots on Target @ $2.95
