Belgium vs Egypt Prediction
Belgium arrive at their 15th World Cup under French coach Rudi Garcia, the fourth non-Belgian to lead the Red Devils at football’s biggest tournament. The Golden Generation era continues with Thibaut Courtois (Real Madrid) in goal, Kevin De Bruyne (Napoli) pulling the strings in midfield, and Romelu Lukaku (Napoli) leading the line despite a difficult injury-hit club season. The real X-factor is 23-year-old Jeremy Doku, whose pace and dribbling at Manchester City have been unstoppable, with the winger scoring a hat-trick in the 7-0 win over Liechtenstein in November. Leandro Trossard (Arsenal), Amadou Onana, and Youri Tielemans (both Aston Villa) add Premier League quality. No European team has played in more World Cups without ever winning the trophy.
Egypt return to the World Cup for the first time since 2018 under Egyptian coach and former striker Hossam Hassan, who guided the Pharaohs through CAF qualifying unbeaten with 8 wins from 10. Captain Mohamed Salah scored 9 in qualifying and recently announced his Liverpool departure, freeing him up for a fresh challenge. Manchester City’s Omar Marmoush forms a lethal Premier League front pair with Salah. Veteran goalkeeper Mohamed El Shenawy (37, Al Ahly) returns from 2018 and Trezeguet (Al Ahly) provides experience. Notably, Egypt beat Belgium 2-1 in a Kuwait friendly in November 2022 with goals from Mostafa Mohamed and Trezeguet.
Best bet: Belgium to win is the call but Egypt have shown they can frustrate Belgium before with that 2022 friendly win. Both teams to score has real value given Salah’s class, Marmoush’s movement, and Belgium’s leaky defense at times. Salah anytime scorer is a smart pick. Expect a competitive Group G opener.
