Egypt should take plenty of confidence from last week’s 3-1 win over New Zealand.
That was a much cleaner performance than their opening draw with Belgium. They moved the ball with more purpose, found better spaces in the final third, and looked much more dangerous once Mohamed Salah started getting involved in the right areas.
Iran will not make this easy. They are organised, physical, and more than happy to turn games into stop-start contests where rhythm is hard to find.
Even so, Egypt look to have found a bit of belief. If they can bring the same tempo and composure they showed against New Zealand, they look well placed to grab 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
