Australia v Egypt – Friday, 7pm

Australia played out a goalless draw with Paraguay in a forgettable contest on matchday three, but they won’t mind one bit. The result was enough to secure their place in a World Cup knockout stage for just the third time in their history.
The Socceroos are still chasing their first ever World Cup knockout victory, and they’ll need to find another gear if they’re to keep their tournament alive — especially in front of goal, having scored only two goals so far as the competition intensifies.
For all their attacking struggles, Australia have been impressively solid at the back. They’ve kept four clean sheets in their last six World Cup outings, giving them a platform to build from. Punters can back the Socceroos at 11/5 with William Hill to win inside ninety minutes.

Egypt are back in a World Cup knockout game for the first time since 1934 — long before group stages even existed — after finishing runners‑up in Group G, though they’ll feel they squandered a golden chance to top the group in their final match against Iran.
Their 2018 campaign ended with three defeats, so this tournament already represents a major step forward, and entering this clash having lost just one of their last seven matches in all competitions should give the Pharaohs a welcome boost of confidence.
Goals have been a theme for Egypt, with both teams scoring in each of their last four matches and in their last five World Cup games. Punters can back the Pharaohs at 11/2 with William Hill to win inside ninety minutes and concede in the process.

Qualifying Acca wins (less the value of the original stake) will receive an “Acca Boost”, whereby winnings will be boosted by a variable percentage, dependent on the number of selections in the Qualifying Acca:

The increasing percentage of rewards in the Acca Boost reflects the relative risk of placing Qualifying Accas with a higher number of selections.
The following maximum Acca Boost amounts will be applied per Qualifying Acca:
1. For retail customers: £2,000
2. For online customers: £10,000.
There is no daily limit of Qualifying Accas.
In the case of void selections within a Qualifying Acca, the Acca Boost will still apply but the percentage applied will be calculated according to the final number of winning selections.
In the case of an Acca dropping to three selections or less, the acca will lose its Qualifying Acca status and Acca Boost will not apply.
Any Acca Boost on winnings will be applied as part of the standard bet settlement process.
Bets you place using free bets cannot be combined with the Acca Boost
Any acca that has been cashed out will not be eligible for an Acca Boost.
