Iran and New Zealand complete Group G, so this opener can decide whether Belgium control the section early or Egypt turn the group into a tighter race.

The Belgium vs Egypt lineups remain projected until official team sheets arrive. Belgium are expected in a 4-2-3-1, with De Bruyne behind De Ketelaere and Doku plus Trossard stretching the wide spaces. Egypt are projected in a 4-3-3, with Salah, Marmoush, and Trezeguet forming the direct attacking route.
| Team | Probable Shape | Projected XI |
|---|---|---|
| Belgium | 4-2-3-1 | T. Courtois; T. Castagne; W. Faes; A. Theate; M. De Cuyper; Y. Tielemans; A. Onana; J. Doku; K. De Bruyne; L. Trossard; C. De Ketelaere |

Belgium Preview
Belgium enter ranked No. 9 in the FIFA men’s ranking and carry a last-five form line of W-W-W-D-W. They scored 18 goals and conceded 4 across the current public sample. Belgium have the attacking ceiling, but Egypt’s counter threat keeps the opener from feeling routine.
Belgium enter under Rudi Garcia with Kevin De Bruyne, Thibaut Courtois, Jeremy Doku, Youri Tielemans, and Charles De Ketelaere shaping the current squad profile.
Belgium Current Form and Key Players
Kevin De Bruyne is Belgium’s key route because his final-pass control can unlock Egypt’s compact block. Doku gives Belgium one-v-one pressure, while Courtois gives Garcia security if Egypt break into space. Use midfield quality without leaving large spaces for Egypt’s counters. Belgium should create chances if Tielemans and Onana control second balls.
Egypt Preview
Egypt enter ranked No. 29 and carry a last-five form line of W-W-D-W-W. They scored 10 goals and conceded 3 across the current public sample. Egypt have the stronger H2H record, and Salah’s birthday opener gives the fixture an extra storyline without changing the tactical need.
Egypt arrive under Hossam Hassan with Mohamed Salah, Omar Marmoush, Mahmoud Trezeguet, Marwan Attia, and Mohamed El Shenawy carrying the key roles.
Egypt Current Form and Key Players
Mohamed Salah gives Egypt their main transition finishing threat route. Marmoush can run beyond Belgium’s centre-backs, while Trezeguet gives Hassan another direct runner from the left. Keep the block compact and release Salah and Marmoush into open grass quickly. Egypt can hurt Belgium if the first Belgian press gets bypassed.
Match Prediction
The Belgium vs Egypt prediction is Belgium 2-1 Egypt. The probability split is 48 percent Belgium, 27 percent draw, and 25 percent Egypt. The confidence level is 48 percent because Belgium have more attacking depth, while Egypt have the H2H edge and a realistic counter route.
Belgium rank ninth and carry the stronger attacking data in the current public sample. Egypt have won three of the four verified senior meetings, including the 2022 friendly. Salah and Marmoush can test Belgium if Garcia’s full-backs leave transition space. Belgium should win if De Bruyne controls the final pass and Doku forces Egypt backward. Egypt can challenge the pick if Salah and Marmoush turn the game into repeated transition attacks.
Head to Head Record
Egypt lead the verified senior series 3-1, and their latest meeting was a 2-1 friendly win over Belgium in November 2022.

| Total Meetings | 4 |
