Egypt Betting Odds

Egypt road to Russia 2018 World Cup

The Pharaohs spent most of the arduous qualification process clinging to the possibility of the coveted Russia ticket, and ultimately succeeded thanks to Mohamed Saleh and a very timely penalty goal. This is Egypt's first participation in a World Cup since 1990, and coach Hector Cuper is under a lot of pressure to break their very own glass ceiling and finally reach the round of 16. The North African has been the subject of praise due to its defensive skills, by managing to keep their goal net nearly untouched during the entire preliminaries, however, it remains to be seen if they have what it takes to rejoin the international soccer scene and what Egypt betting odds will be.

Egypt joins the fray from the top of Group E in the African Football Confederation, after a very tense confrontation with Ghana; Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah scored a penalty goal that secured Egypt's entry into the Russian tournament. Throughout its entire history, and even though they've dominated their regional scene, the African team has struggled to qualify to the world cup. During their last participation in 1990, the Egyptian squad took the planet's audiences by surprise, as they managed to ward off Van Basten's deadly Holland team with a tie, while also performing admirably before both England and Ireland.

Egypt Key Players

Cuper's ensemble is a good mixture of both fresh talent and seasoned players; apart from world-famous Saleh, who plays in the English Premier League for Liverpool, Egypt can count on midfielders Abdallah Said and Mohamed Elneny, as well as on Mahmoud Abdel-Moneim (commonly known as Kharaba), and Ahmed Hegazi; Mahmoud Hassan "Trezeguet" powerful forward drive is expected to improve his country's scoring potential. Keeper Essam El-Hadary will be the oldest player on the field, by reaching the age of 45 prior to the start of the competition. Newcomer Amr Marey will be joining his national team from his present gig at Tunisia's Etoile Sahel.

Salah's team is currently placed at the 31st spot of FIFA's global rankings and it stands somewhere near the middle of most World Cup betting odds, with fractional prices that range between 150 and 250 to one in the outright win market. Egypt will face very tough challenges from the get-go: they will face South American powerhouse Uruguay for their first match on June 15th, and host Russia on the 19th; they will have their final stint in the group stage with a game against Saudi Arabia. If they succeed in keeping both Uruguay and Russia from winning with sizeable goal margins, they might be able still to achieve Cuper's dream and reach the next stage.
