Belgium vs Egypt Form
The hosts head into this tournament in spectacular goalscoring form, having dismantled Tunisia 5-0 in their final warm-up match. That emphatic victory capped off an impressive undefeated run in their last six outings, which also featured a resilient 2-0 away win against Croatia and a thrilling 5-2 victory over the USA on the road. The European powerhouse has shown immense attacking fluidity of late.
The visitors, meanwhile, suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat to Brazil in their final warm-up game. Despite that setback, the African giants have proven difficult to beat, securing a 1-0 victory over Russia and a highly commendable goalless draw away to Spain in their preceding fixtures. Their defensive resilience will be tested to the limit here.

Historically, encounters between these sides have been rare but highly entertaining. Across their three historical meetings, the Pharaohs have claimed two victories, while the Red Devils secured a dominant 3-0 win back in 2018.

For Belgium, Thibaut Courtois is expected to start in goal, retaining his position despite the impressive form of Senne Lammens in the Premier League. The midfield trio of Youri Tielemans, Kevin De Bruyne, and Amadou Onana will be crucial in dictating the tempo and winning the midfield battle.
Egypt enter the tournament with a clean bill of health. Manager Hossam Hassan has selected a fully fit 26-man squad, meaning the Pharaohs can unleash their star-studded attacking partnership of Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush from the opening whistle.
Belgium vs Egypt Match Facts
- Belgium have seen over 2.5 goals in their last 3 matches against Egypt in all competitions.
Prediction: Belgium 2-1 Egypt
Belgium’s attacking potency was fully evident in their 5-0 demolition of Tunisia, and they will look to exploit Egypt's back three with the pace of Jeremy Doku and the clinical finishing of Romelu Lukaku. While the Pharaohs are incredibly dangerous on the counter-attack through Mohamed Salah, Belgium's superior midfield control should give them the edge. Expect a closely contested affair, but the Red Devils should have enough quality to secure a narrow victory.
