Belgium vs Egypt Prediction & Betting Tips | 15 June 2026

Match Preview

Belgium aim to extend their hot streak when they face Egypt in a captivating World Cup group match. With Rudi Garcia's squad boasting a full complement of key players for their Group G opener, we're backing a 2-1 victory for the hosts. The Red Devils arrive at this fixture full of belief, buoyed by consecutive friendly wins against Croatia (2-0) and Tunisia (5-0). Encouragingly for Belgium, both Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku are fit and ready, with Manchester City's winger Jeremy Doku anticipated to be a significant attacking danger. Belgium's recent form is exceptional, having netted an average of 3.5 goals per game in their last ten outings and remaining undefeated throughout that period. Egypt, conversely, will be keen to bounce back after their 2-1 loss to Brazil in their last fixture. The Pharaohs still boast considerable attacking talent, with leading forwards Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush possessing the ability to cause problems for any defence. Egypt have proven tough to break down recently, keeping clean sheets in 60% of their last ten matches and conceding just 0.5 goals per game on average. However, their away performances have been less impressive, scoring only one goal per game on the road and winning just 25% of their away matches. Belgium are ten games unbeaten, scoring an average of 3.5 goals per game and coming off commanding victories against Croatia and Tunisia. Considering the abundance of elite talent within Rudi Garcia's squad, our primary betting suggestion for this Group G encounter is a Home Win, along with Belgium to score Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (Belgium's games typically see 4.5 total goals, and their potent attack should generate numerous opportunities). This World Cup 2026 fixture is scheduled for Monday 15 June 2026, kicking off at 20:00.
