THE PREDICTION

After playing out a hard-fought 0-0 draw with Spain, Egypt will fancy their chances of going one better and acquiring three points against an Argentina side beaten by Australia in their opening tournament fixture. It will be important for Egypt to maintain their defensive stability, whilst at the same time finding an attacking formula that works for them here, whilst Argentina need to tighten up at the back, knowing that a second successive defeat could well see them unable to qualify for the knockout stages with a game to play. When taking this into account, a tentative encounter may be in prospect and as was the case in both Egypt and Argentina’s last group match, under 2.5 goals scored over 90 minutes looks on the cards.
