JefeBet Prediction
For this Belgium vs Egypt match, which will sure be a high level game, we believe that the winner will be the European team. The skills and pace of stars such as Kevin De Bruyne, Eden Hazard and the security and experience of Thibaut Courtois will put the pharaohs team and Salah in big trouble.
Prediction: Belgium win 2-1.
