Egypt vs Iran Preview

Egypt will be looking to back up their first World Cup win in over 60 years, as they take on Iran in Seattle.

Both teams have genuinely good chances of making the knockout rounds and there is a sense of intrigue around this clash.

Holding Belgium was the key result for both of them thus far, with two well-earned draws helping them on their way.

Iran were also held by New Zealand in their opening game, but Egypt found a way past the Kiwis and top the group as a result

All three results feel in play here, with both sides potentially going through as group winners or even heading out of the competition.

This should be a fascinating tie, between two well matched sides and here is a look ahead to Egypt vs Iran:

Both of these sides know that a win will see them through to the knockout rounds, with a draw also likely to do the same.

However, Egypt should be full of confidence following their comeback win against New Zealand and they know a win here sees them top the group.

Having seen off the threat of Belgium to an extent, the stage does look to be set for this Egyptian side, who have struggled to deliver in recent World Cups.

Iran will come with a clear game plan and should make this tough for the Egyptians, especially in midfield areas but Egypt and their superior individual quality should find a way to win the game.

While both sides have adopted quite a stifling approach against Belgium, they played with increased freedom against New Zealand.

There are plenty of top quality players in both teams and with the prize of topping the group potentially at stake, these two teams may feel it is a risk worth taking.

If the game pans out this way, smart money feels as if it is on Egypt to deliver and progress to the knockout rounds as group winners.

Best Value Bet

Mohamed Salah to score anytime @ $2.80

The relationship between Mohamed Salah and the World Cup had long been a curious one, prior to his goal against New Zealand last time out.

Now that Salah has scratched that itch, he could go on a run for his country here, as they look to progress to the knockout rounds.

The former Liverpool man is still searching for a new club and what better way to put himself in the shop window than goal contributions at the World Cup.
