Argentina Vs Egypt, FIFA World Cup 2026: Prediction
Argentina enter the Round of 16 as overwhelming favourites against Egypt after an unbeaten group-stage campaign. Predictive models give La Albiceleste a 69% chance of progressing, with a 2-0 or 3-0 victory emerging as the most likely outcome.
However, the FIFA World Cup 2026 has already witnessed several major upsets, and Egypt's disciplined defence coupled with their counter-attacking threat could push the defending champions all the way.
If the Pharaohs can frustrate Lionel Messi and company, an extra-time or even penalty shootout finish cannot be ruled out.
