Australia vs Egypt Prediction
Check out the Hard Rock Bet Stats Hub before placing your bets to source data, insights, streaks, form graphs, and more. Here’s where it led me for Egypt vs Australia:
Egypt vs Australia Pick: Tie (+185)
Per Stats Hub, three out of Egypt’s last four World Cup day matches have ran out as ties. I think these teams are pretty evenly matched on paper – Egypt (26th) currently sits just two spots ahead of Australia (28th) in the most recent FIFA World Rankings – and it’s not hard to envision this one being a nervous, timid affair with both teams reluctant to really go for it with so much on the line.
Give me the the tie on the 3-way moneyline at +180.
Australia vs Egypt Pick: Correct Score 1-1 (+450)
I just covered above why I’m buying-in to the tie narrative. I was going to take under 2.5 goals as my second pick here (hit in four of Australia’s last five World Cup matches outside of their home region), but it’s currently priced at -230. Rather than chase a low scoring game at that price, I like taking a stab at the 1-1 tie exact score market at +450. The price is way better – we can risk less to win more – and it helps us maximize winnings if we do in fact get a slow paced, lower scoring game environment.
Further, Egypt has managed exactly one goal in four if its last five games, two of which ended all square at 1 after 90 minutes. Let’s roll with 1-1 at +450 with our second pick on Hard Rock Bet Sportsbook.
