Egypt and Australia are set to clash tonight in a decisive encounter for a place in the Round of 16 at the World Cup.

The Socceroos enter the contest with only two goals scored during the group stage. They began with a 2-0 victory over Turkey, but subsequently fell to the USA and were held to a goalless draw by Paraguay.

Egypt, on the other hand, remain unbeaten, having secured a 3-1 win over New Zealand, alongside 1-1 draws against both Belgium and Iran.

Australia WIN - 12/5

Draw - 15/8

Egypt WIN - 13/10

Australia have struggled to find the back of the net in this World Cup, failing to score in their last two fixtures.

Meanwhile, Egypt showed resilience against Belgium during the group stage and managed to finish second in their group, having scored in every match they played.

With key players such as Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush leading their attack, Egypt possess the firepower to trouble Australia in this encounter.

Bookmakers have placed The Pharaohs as favourites, and based on their current form, that prediction appears justified.

Australia, however, have already delivered one surprise result earlier in the tournament, proving they are capable of unsettling stronger opponents.
