Belgium vs Egypt Betting Tips – 15.06.2026

Belgium kick off their 2026 World Cup campaign with a game against Egypt at the Lumen Field in Seattle. Keep up with us because we will present you our FIFA World Cup 2026 best bets.

Four years after being eliminated in the group stage of the 2022 World Cup, Belgium are motivated to do better this time. Their best performance ever came in 2018 when they finished third at the World Cup in Russia. This was the country’s golden generations, but most of the players are gone now.

Egypt return at the World Cup for their 4th appearance in the competition. The Pharaohs missed the competition in Qatar four years ago while they got eliminated in the group stage in 2018.

Belgium News & Analysis

Coached by the French manager Rudi Garcia, Belgium are approaching this competition after the fall of their Golden Generation. Players like Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku, Axel Witsel and Thibaut Courtois are still part of the team, but the team is pretty much new now.

And while Kevin De Bruyne remains the midfield maestro for the Red Devils, Manchester City’s Jeremy Doku is one of the players in-form in the Belgian squad. The winger had a terrific end of the 2025/26 season. Doku will be one of the main threats for Belgium’s opponents. Keep an eye on him.

Egypt News & Analysis

8 years later, Egypt are part of the World Cup once again. This could be Mohamed Salah’s swan song with the national team. Salah is now 33-years old so participating at another World Cup might be difficult. It was a difficult season for him as well – Salah is leaving Liverpool after a tough campaign at the Anfield.

Alongside Mo Salah, players like Manchester City’s Omar Marmoush and Al Ahly’s Trezeguet are well-known for the European audience. But keep an eye on the 18-years old Hamza Abdelkarim – the teenager was called-up in the squad despite playing for Barcelona’s B-team in the lower divisions.
