Reigning world champions Argentina needed extra time in their round of 32 game against Cape Verde despite being the heavy favourites on the betting market pre-game, but their 3-2 victory meant they’ve now made the round of 16 in each of their last six World Cups.
La Albiceleste will be widely expected to reach the quarter-final, especially given you have to go back to 2019 for the last time they lost a knockout match at any tournament. With dreams of becoming just the third nation to win back‑to‑back World Cups, the pressure — and expectation — continues to build.
Argentina are odds‑on favourites to beat Egypt on Tuesday, and it’s no surprise. The holders have been in outstanding goalscoring form, hitting two or more goals in each of their last ten World Cup matches. Punters can back Argentina at 4/6 with William Hill to score Over 1.5 Goals, a market they’ve landed with remarkable consistency.

Egypt made history on Friday, winning their first ever World Cup knockout match after a 4-2 penalty shootout victory over Australia. A win here would see them become just the third African nation to reach a World Cup quarter‑final.
Their games are usually tight affairs, with six of their last seven matches decided by a single‑goal margin or ending level. Three of their four World Cup fixtures so far have finished 1-1, underlining just how difficult this Egypt side are to beat.
Goals have been a theme for Egypt, with both teams scoring in each of their last five matches and in their last six World Cup games. Punters can back the Pharaohs at 7/1 with William Hill to win inside ninety minutes.
