Belgium vs Egypt Prediction: Favorite to win a low-scoring match

On November 18, 2022 Kuwait will host a friendly match between the national teams of Belgium and Egypt. The meeting is scheduled to start at 18:00.

Team Belgium goes to another major tournament as one of the top favorites. However, the current generation has only won a bronze at the 2018 World Cup, despite much higher expectations. The Red Devils qualified for the 2022 World Cup without too many problems, but they failed to qualify for the last UEFA Nations League play-offs, finishing second in their own quartet. The Belgians are coming to Qatar in sub-optimal shape because the national team leaders have no match practice: Eden Hazard is on the bench at Real Madrid and Romelu Lukaku has been out injured all season. All we can believe in is Kevin De Bruyne.

The Egyptian team has played only one world championship in the 21st century. That was the 2018 World Cup in Russia, where Salah and company lost all three matches in the tournament and took the penultimate place. Unfortunately, we will not see them in Qatar, as they were unsuccessful in the qualifying tournament, losing to the national team of Senegal. The closest goal for Rui Vitoria's players is qualifying for the African Cup of Nations, in which they started with a 1-0 victory over Guinea, but then lost to Ethiopia 0-2, making the task more difficult.

• Three of the last four matches featuring Belgium were low-scoring. You can bet on Total Under 2.5 goals at odds of 2.10 on the line of 1xbet;
• Eight of the last nine matches involving the Egyptian national team did not saw an exchange of goals. You can bet on BTTS - No for 1.57 at Betway;
• The last two matches Egypt played saw more goals after the break than before. You can bet on the second half being more productive for 2.05 at Bet365.

The Belgian national team is one of the favorites at the 2022 World Cup, which will soon play their opening game at the tournament, so the Red Devils should already be in good shape. While not all of the key players were able to prove themselves in the fall games for various reasons, they always transform as part of the national team. The Egyptians currently do not have any tournament goals, so it is unlikely they will play hard in a match against an opponent that surpasses them in class. As a result, we have to bet on Handicap Belgium (-1.5) at the odds of 1.92 at 1xbet.

We should not expect a goal extravaganza in the upcoming match. As we have already mentioned, the Belgians are the clear favorites in the match, but they are having personnel difficulties, so it is unlikely they will send a whole bunch of goals to the rival's goal. The Egyptians have a good defense, but the attacking group is not capable of creating many chances against top teams. On this basis, the best option seems to be Total Under (2.5) goals for 2.00 at Betway. If anyone can be expected to score, it is Kevin De Bruyne, whose goal is rated at 2.60 by Bet365.
