Summary
Egypt are tipped to win 1-0 in Arlington, with the betting pick backing the Pharaohs at +145 in their first World Cup knockout match.
Mohamed Salah is central to that call after posting one goal and two assists in three tournament games, making him the anytime scorer pick at +210.
Australia’s attack underpins the forecast: the Socceroos have failed to score in their last two matches and have managed only three goals across their last five.
Egypt arrive unbeaten at this World Cup and with four clean sheets in their last eight matches, reinforcing the pick that only Egypt score at +230.
Both teams are chasing history, but only the winner advances to a likely quarterfinal meeting with reigning champions Argentina.
