General match analysis
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
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
Typ BTTS: no. 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. Temperature control and a limited number of clean chances for one side are more important, so one team not scoring is marginally more likely. The model gives 45% on BTTS Yes and 55% on BTTS No, with xG Argentina 1.45 and Egypt 0.85. Status: SMALL BET

Typ: under 2.5. 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.

Most likely result: 1-0. Line 2.5 separates a controlled 1:0 or 1:1 match from a scenario in which the other side has to explore the pitch more strongly. Here, the caution of the knockout phase lowers the natural goal ceiling. Status: SMALL BET
