Australia have never been afraid of doing things the hard way, and\u00a0they\u2019ll\u00a0likely need\u00a0to roll the sleeves up again against a dangerous Egypt side on Saturday morning.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tony Popovic\u2019s men are at their best when\u00a0they\u2019re\u00a0organised, physical, and hard to break down, so\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0expect the\u00a0Socceroos\u00a0to dominate the ball for\u00a0long periods. Their best chances should come from set pieces aimed at Harry Souttar and Jackson Irvine, or quick breaks involving the pace and directness of\u00a0Nestory\u00a0Irankunda\u00a0and Cristian Volpato.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Egypt, on the other hand, have a little more polish where it matters. Mohamed Salah is obviously the big name if\u00a0he\u2019s\u00a0fit and firing, but Omar Marmoush and Trezeguet also give the Pharaohs real threat in transition.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This has all the makings of a proper knockout grind. Australia will try to slow things down, win the physical battle, and stay in the contest deep into the second half, while Egypt will wait for space to\u00a0open up\u00a0and look to strike quickly.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As much as the patriotic play is tempting, Egypt\u00a0look\u00a0to have the edge in attacking quality.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Prediction:<\/strong> Egypt to Win & Under 2.5 Goals @ $3.90<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Value:<\/strong> First Team to Score \u2013 Australia @ $2.30<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Player Pick:<\/strong> Mostafa Ziko Anytime Goalscorer @ $3.60<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Argentina\u00a0enter\u00a0this one as deserved\u00a0favourites, and with Lionel Messi still pulling the strings alongside Lautaro Martinez, Julian Alvarez and Alexis Mac Allister, they should have no trouble controlling possession and dictating the tempo.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cape Verde\u00a0won\u2019t\u00a0be there just to make up the numbers, though. The Blue Sharks are likely to sit deep, stay compact, and try to frustrate Argentina before looking to break through the pace and power of Ryan Mendes and Garry Rodrigues.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The longer\u00a0Cape Verde\u00a0keep this tight, the more interesting it becomes, but Argentina\u2019s class in the final third is hard to ignore.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Expect the world champions to wear them down eventually.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Prediction:<\/strong> Argentina to Win & Under 3.5 Goals @ $2.70<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Value:<\/strong> Both Teams to Score @ $2.88<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Player Pick:<\/strong> Lautaro Martinez Anytime Goalscorer @ $1.75<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Colombia\u00a0bring\u00a0plenty of flair into this matchup, with Luis Diaz and James Rodriguez giving them creativity, width, and genuine quality in the final third.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ghana will be no\u00a0easybeats\u00a0though, particularly if they can turn this into a transition-heavy contest.\u00a0They\u2019ve\u00a0got enough pace and physicality to get in behind Colombia\u2019s back four, and they\u00a0won\u2019t\u00a0be shy about playing direct when the chance is there.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This could\u00a0open up\u00a0into one of the more entertaining games of the round if Ghana can drag Colombia into an end-to-end battle.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That said, Colombia\u00a0look\u00a0the more balanced of the two sides and should create the better chances over\u00a090 minutes.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Prediction:<\/strong> Colombia to Win & Over 3.5 Goals @ $4.40<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Value:<\/strong> Correct Score \u2013 Colombia 3-1 @ $14<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Player Pick:<\/strong> Ernest Nuamah to Score or Assist @ $6.20<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
