Match description
Typ 1X2 after 90 minutes: 1. Argentina still has the most quality and experience in controlling the knockout stages, but after the previous round it no longer looks like an untouchable team. Egypt has the profile of a very dangerous underdog: he can defend low, has the speed to counter and doesn't need many situations to change the match. The first 30 minutes will be crucial, because the longer Egypt maintains the 0-0 score, the more Argentina will play against the pressure and its own fatigue. We leave Argentina as our bet, but it's more of a patient 1-0 match than a quiet victory. Our prediction: 48% for Argentina, 31% for draw and 21% for Egypt. Most likely exact score: 1-0. Promotion after the whole match: Argentina (64% vs 36%). Status: SMALL BET
