Portugal vs Egypt – Friendlies Match Prediction
Portugal’s first of two friendly engagements will be against Egypt this Friday night in Zurich
Portugal secured their place in the 2018 World Cup by finishing the European qualifying round in Group B with 27 points, with 9 wins and 1 defeat.
In the 10 rounds, the team had 32 goals scored and 4 conceded, which averaged 3.6 goals per game.
Since the end of the Euro against France, the pupils of Fernando Santos only recorded 3 losses (1 of them after prolongation) in 20 realized games.
Egypt won the World Cup in Russia after finishing first in Group E of the African Zone with 13 points, with 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.
In terms of goals scored 8 scored and 4 conceded, with an average of 2 goals per game. In the last 3 meetings, the selection guided by Hector Cuper did not record any defeat.
Given that the meeting is friendly, I see here a good opportunity to explore the market of goals.
In this chapter, Portugal have given good cards, having been even the 4th most concrete attack of the European qualifying phase for the World Cup, behind only Germany, Belgium and Spain.
Egypt, although not a national goal-scoring team, is often regular in the finals, having scored in 13 of their last 15 matches.
Prediction Portugal vs Egypt:
Also note that in Zurich will be two of the players in greater state of grace with the opposing goalposts, Cristiano Ronaldo with 22 goals in clear ascension after an early season of lesser brilliance, and the other Salah who already has 28 goals in 31 days of the Premier League.
Prediction Today: Over 2 Goals
Odds: 1.59
