Australia have found scoring goals difficult in this World Cup, drawing blanks in their last two matches.

Egypt, meanwhile were stubborn against Belgium in the group stages and did enough to come second, scoring at least once in every match.

With stars like Mo Salah and Omar Marmoush, they have enough quality to hurt Australia in this game.

The bookies have The Pharaohs as the favourites and it’s hard to see it going any other way.

However, Australia have pulled off one upset already this tournament, so they do have it in them to cause problems.

Score prediction: Australia 0-2 Egypt
