Australia vs Egypt Preview

Reaching the last 16 of the World Cup would represent a huge coup for both Australia and Egypt and they will be ready to rattle into each other here in Dallas.

Australia weren’t fancied by many to have a run in this tournament, but they came through a group alongside USA and Paraguay to reach the knockout rounds.

Egypt were in a similar boat and came through along with Belgium and they will be relishing this opportunity.

While not many people would expect either of these two sides to go much further in the competition, winning this one would be a huge step forwards for both.

This should be fascinating and here is a look ahead to Australia vs Egypt:

The enormity of this one cannot be underestimated in the context of both Australian and Egyptian football and this feels huge.

For the Socceroos, an expectant nation back home look to be on board with the green and gold and they will be taking this tournament one game at a time.

Egypt meanwhile won their first World Cup knockout game in over 50 years against New Zealand and find themselves in the knockout rounds as a result.

Ultimately, qualification to the last 16 will be all that matters to both teams and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Risks will be limited from both teams and with that in mind, the 90 minute result could well be a draw.

Neither of these teams are too accustomed to playing World Cup matches of this magnitude and that could have a direct bearing on how this one plays out.

From the outset, both teams will be doing all they can to keep defensive shape and not give any hope or chances to the opposition.

This feels as if it will be a tight and cagey affair, which could be a low scoring draw in Dallas, with extra time and penalties looming.

As mentioned, a run to the last 16 would be a huge achievement for both of these sides and this could be a very tight game as a result.

It may require extra time and/or penalties but there is a feeling that this Egyptian side are a bit different to those who have come before.

This feels as if it will be decided in the key moments and Egypt could have the individual quality to prevail in a low scorer here.
