Betting tips for Saudi Arabia vs Egypt 25.06.2018

Eliminated from this World Cup, the two worst selections of Group A say goodbye to the world championship looking for a victory that will leave a good taste in their mouths.

Saudi Arabia improved the image after the 5-0 of the debut, and fell by the minimum against Uruguay. The Saudi team won the ticket for the World Cup event, finishing second in the Asian qualifying group. The former Chilean coach Juan Antonio Pizzi has been chosen to take the Arab team back to a World Cup, with a record of 6 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses in 10 games played against Japan (which ended up leader), Australia, United Arab Emirates and Iraq.

After finishing leader of the previous Group, winning 6 of their 8 matches, the Saudis started this final phase with a victory Thailand at home (1-0) and a victory in Iraq (1-2). Australia took a draw in Saudi Arabia, before the defeat to the United Arab Emirates (3-0) and the first defeat, in Japan (2-1). Another defeat to Thailand (0-3) and the hard-fought victory at home against Iraq (1-0) left the first place to shot. However, the two defeats against Australia (3-2) and the United Arab Emirates (2-1) left everything in the air before receiving Japan in the final match. A new triumph for the minimum (1-0) was worth to re-classify the team for the World Cup, marking a milestone in the history of Saudi football.

Nawaf Al Abid was, with 5 goals in 9 games (4 penalties) Bauza's top scorer, in which only three more players (Al Muwabad, Al Sahlawi and Al Shehri) have scored more than one goal each.

The Saudis have played three friendlies in this 2018, winning 3-0 over Moldova, falling 4-1 in Iraq and conceding a draw in Ukraine to 1. Then lost 4-0 in Belgium, won 2-0 to Algeria and Greece , fell to Italy (2-1), was overwhelmed by Peru (0-3) and competed with Germany (2-1).

Egypt was eliminated against Russia, playing a better match than the one against Uruguay. The African team finished as leader of their qualifying group for the World Cup, the E, ahead of Uganda, Ghana and Republic of the Congo. The Egyptians took 4 victories in the 6 games played, tying in their visit to Ghana on the last day, and losing in their visit to Uganda on the third day (1-0). The Pharaohs play their second game of preparation for the World Cup with the great absence of Mohamed Salah, his great star, after measuring Colombia a few days ago.

The strength of the Egyptian team has been demonstrated by his brilliant World Cup qualification, which comes with the huge doubt of the injury of Mohamed Salah. Veteran Hector Cúper's combined team has been placed in the same group as the hosts, Russia, as well as Uruguay and Saudi Arabia, this will be their penultimate friendly before they face Belgium on the 6th. In the three previous friendlies, Egypt fell in Portugal (2-1), in Greece (1-0) and tied in Kuwait (1-1). Against Colombia, the Africans drew without goals, missing a Salah who did not arrive in time for the first World Cup clash against Uruguay and that must start in this key game for Africans.


Egypt is a much better team and must win this game, play Salah or not.
