Australia vs Egypt Preview and Team News
Australia Team News
Australia have made it through to the Round of 32 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup despite winning just one of their three group-stage matches, drawing one and losing one.
However, their latest goalless draw with Paraguay, who recently knocked Germany out of the tournament, was enough to secure second place in the group. Manager Tony Popovic deployed a 3-4-2-1 formation with heavy emphasis on vertical passing.
Defensive midfielder Aiden O’Neill was responsible for pulling strings from the center of the park. He posted an 83% passing accuracy and created two chances. Right wing-back Jordan Bos, meanwhile, created the joint-most chances (three).
The Socceroos will be without Matthew Leckie and Jacob Italiano, both of whom are sidelined through injury.
Australia predicted lineup vs Egypt (3-4-2-1): Beach; Herrington, Souttar, Circati; Behich, O’Neill, Irvine, Bos; Metcalfe, Volpato; Irankunda.
Egypt Team News
Egypt advanced to the Round of 32 without losing a match during the group stage. Their latest result was a 1-1 draw with Iran, in which neither side could find a second-half winner.
The Pharaohs were the dominant team, controlling 61% possession and completing 87% of their passes. Despite dominating the ball, however, they managed just three shots on target from 15 attempts.
Striker Mostafa Ziko was closely marked throughout the game. As a result, he managed to create just one chance and failed to register a single shot on target. Winger Trezeguet, meanwhile, impressed, recording a match-high 10 touches in the opposition box.
Egypt have a long list of injuries. Mohamed Salah, Ahmed Fatouh, Mohamed Abdelmonem, Hamdy Fathy, and Hossam Abdelmaguid are all doubts. Mohanad Lasheen, meanwhile, has been suspended. Salah is expected to begin on the bench but could feature in the second half.
Egypt predicted lineup vs Australia (4-2-3-1): Shobeir; El Fotouh, Ibrahim, Rabia, Hany; Saber, Ateya; Trezeguet, Zizo, Ashour; Ziko.
Australia vs Egypt Prediction
- Pick: Egypt to win or draw
- Odds: -303 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Australia 0-2 Egypt
Egypt should avoid defeat. Note that this prediction applies only to the first 90 minutes and does not account for extra time or penalty shootouts. The Pharaohs have been in much better form than the Australians.
They are unbeaten at this World Cup, while the Socceroos have won just one of their three games. Egypt also defeated Australia the last time these sides met, in 2010.
Australia vs Egypt Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over 1.5 goals
- Odds: -167 (20Bet)
We expect the game to produce at least two goals. Egypt have enough attacking quality to create multiple scoring opportunities, led by Trezeguet, who has already contributed to two goals at this World Cup. Salah, who has been involved in three goals so far, is also expected to make an impact off the bench.
Striker Zizo is also a notable threat inside the box, as he has already recorded two goal contributions at the World Cup. He also enjoyed an excellent 2025-26 season with Pyramids FC, recording 14 goal involvements.
Additionally, the Egyptians have scored five goals in three matches, while the Socceroos have netted just two over the same span.
