Belgium

Red Devils Too Strong for Egypt?
Belgium is among the favorites to go far in Qatar. They finished third in Russia’s 2018 FIFA World Cup and are still the highest-ranked European nation in the current FIFA World Rankings.
Belgium has been paired up against Canada, Morocco, and Croatia in Group F in Qatar. The Red Devils kick off their tournament next week with a game against Canada at Ahmad bin Ali Stadium.
They then face Morocco in Doha before finishing Group F with a tasty fixture with Croatia in Al Rayyan.
Before their World Cup starts, Belgium will be hoping to make light work of Egypt in Kuwait. Going by the latest Belgium vs. Egypt odds, the Belgians are the clear favorites to get the win in their final World Cup warm-up match.

Egypt
Egypt qualified for the World Cup in Russia four years back. However, they failed to build on that and will miss this year’s finals in Qatar. Overall, the Egyptians have reached just three World Cups.
Egyptians to Come Up Short in Kuwait?
They have been in the patchy form of late. Since losing to Senegal in a World Cup playoff back in March, the Pharaohs have gone on to lose two and win two of four.
Egypt was beaten by Ethiopia and the Korean Republic but has bounced back with 3-0 wins over Niger and Liberia in the last two.
This will be the Egyptians’ final matchup until an African Cup of Nations qualifier against Malawi in March. Can they end a topsy-turvy year on a high note? Below you will find the best Belgium vs. Egypt odds and predictions.

Belgium vs. Egypt Pick and Prediction
These two nations last squared off in an international friendly in Brussels in June 2018. Belgium was too strong for Egypt on that occasion, with Romelu Lukaku, Eden Hazard, and Marouane Fellaini getting the goals in a 3-0 home success.
They may have dipped in form slightly of late, but Belgium remains a European powerhouse on the world stage, and they could be the team to watch out for in Qatar.
Before jetting off for the World Cup, Belgium should ease past Egypt in Kuwait City. The duo has met twice this century, with Belgium winning 3-0 and 4-0.
We expect the Red Devils to win and keep another clean sheet here – back Belgium to win to nil at the decent odds of -120.
Also, there is good value in +200 for Belgium to be winning at half-time and full-time.
Soccer Pick: Belgium (-120)
