Argentina vs Egypt Preview and Team News
Argentina Team News
Argentina have been in outstanding form at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. They have won all four of their games, scored 11 goals, conceded just three, and kept two clean sheets.
Lionel Messi has been at the heart of Argentina’s attack, as he jointly leads the tournament’s Golden Boot race with seven goals. He also holds the record as the World Cup’s all-time leading scorer with 20 goals.
Argentina’s most recent outing ended in a hard-fought 3-2 win over Cape Verde in the Round of 32. Despite controlling 62% possession, La Albiceleste needed extra time to find the winning goal. They still created plenty of chances, finishing with an impressive 2.26 xG from 22 shots, including 10 on target.
Nicolas Gonzalez and Facundo Medina are doubtful for this clash.
Argentina predicted lineup vs Egypt (4-4-2): E. Martinez; Tagliafico, Lisandro Martinez, Romero, Molina; Almada, Fernandez, Mac Allister, De Paul; Lautaro Martinez, Messi.
Egypt Team News
Egypt face a daunting challenge against the defending champions. Although they have reached the Round of 16, they have won just one of their four matches in regulation time. Against Australia in the Round of 32, they had to rely on penalties.
Mohamed Salah was once again at the heart of Egypt’s attack. He created a game-high five chances, recorded the most touches in the opposition box (eight), and completed all of his attempted dribbles.
Winger Emam Ashour was another player who stood out, leading the team with five shots. He also scored the Pharaohs‘ sole goal and completed 91% of his passes. Midfielder Marwan Ateya, meanwhile, ran things from the center of the park and posted a match-high 144 touches.
The Pharaohs have three key injury concerns heading into this match. Ahmed Fatouh, Karim Hafez, and Mohamed Abdelmonem are all considered doubtful.
Egypt predicted lineup vs Argentina (4-2-3-1): Shobeir; Alaa, Rabia, Ibrahim, Hany; Ateya, Fathi; Marmoush, Salah, Ashour; Ziko.
Argentina vs Egypt Prediction
- Pick: Argentina to win
- Odds: -250 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Argentina 3-0 Egypt
Argentina should win comfortably. The defending world champions boast exceptional depth across the pitch, with elite options in every position. Egypt, by contrast, rely heavily on Salah and Omar Marmoush, while the rest of the squad lacks comparable experience at the highest level.
Messi remains La Albiceleste’s biggest difference-maker and has scored more goals than anyone else ever in World Cup history. The gap between the sides is also reflected in the FIFA rankings, where Argentina sit first, and Egypt are 29th.
Argentina vs Egypt Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score – NO
- Odds: -169 (20Bet)
We expect only Argentina to find the back of the net. Their impressive form at this tournament supports this prediction. They have conceded just three goals and kept two clean sheets in four games.
Egypt, meanwhile, have struggled to create quality opportunities. Against Australia, they managed just three shots on target despite controlling nearly 60% possession, and they also registered three on target against Iran.
Breaking down Argentina’s organized defense will be an even greater challenge. La Albiceleste allowed only six shots from inside the box against Cape Verde and didn’t concede a single big chance.
