Arguably the standout fixture on paper in tonight’s World Cup action sees Belgium take on Egypt in Seattle.
Belgium head into the contest as clear favourites with Sky Bet, with Rudy Garcia’s side priced at 4/7 to claim all three points. Egypt, meanwhile, are available at 9/2 to pull off an upset, while the draw is priced at 3/1.
The 2026 World Cup marks Egypt’s first appearance at the tournament since 2018 and only their second since 1990.Â
The Pharaohs will be hoping to mark their return with their first victory in the nation’s history at a World Cup, but they face a stern test against a talented Belgian side.Â
Can Egypt spring a surprise, or will Belgium’s quality ultimately prove too much? We’ll find out soon enough.
Egypt’s Mohamed Salah is 25/1 to score a brace against Belgium at the World Cup tonight
Alongside the match odds, Sky Bet have boosted several markets for the clash. The headline Super Boost has been enhanced from 13/8 to 3/1 and requires both Mohamed Salah and Jeremy Doku to register a shot on target.
Meanwhile, bettors can back Kevin De Bruyne to score or provide an assist at an enhanced 11/10, while Doku is available at 3/1 to record two or more shots on target.Â
Elsewhere, Omar Marmoush has been boosted to 6/1 to register at least one shot on target in each half, and those expecting a big night from Salah can get 25/1 on the Egyptian superstar scoring two or more goals.
There is plenty of statistical support behind those selections. Salah is just two goals away from equalling Egypt’s all-time scoring record, while De Bruyne has been directly involved in seven goals (goals and assists combined) across his last five World Cup qualifying appearances.Â
Doku has also been a consistent attacking threat, registering two or more shots on target in three of his previous five matches for Belgium.
With star quality on both sides and a range of enhanced betting offers available, this promises to be one of the most intriguing matches of the evening.
