Belgium face Egypt on Monday, 15th June, for Group G’s first match of the FIFA World Cup 2026. The game kicks off at Lumen Field, Seattle, at 20:00 BST.
Each group has 6 teams playing round-robin matches. The top two from each group and the eight best third-place teams will advance to the Round of 32.
While Belgium and Egypt have not played any official head-to-head matches, both have a strong lineup of international players. The Pharaohs have Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) and Omar Marmoush (Man City) as their forwards. The Red Devils have an even deeper lineup with Kevin De Bruyne (Napoli) and Amadou Onana (Aston Villa) in the midfield and Jeremy Doku (Man City) as the striker.

1X2 Betting Odds
| Belgium (1) | X | Egypt (2) |
| 8/13 | 14/5 | 4/1 |
In the 1X2 football betting market, you can back one out of three possible results:
- 1: Home win (Belgium)
- X: Draw
- 2: Away win (Egypt)
Let’s take a look at the Belgium vs Egypt betting odds in the 1X2 market: Belgium has 8/13 odds for a win, Egypt has 4/1 odds, and a draw has 14/5 odds. In fractional odds, the denominator represents the bet amount, and the numerator is the expected profit. This means that for every £13 you bet on Belgium, you’ll win £8 in profit if they win. Similarly, you win £4 for every pound for correctly predicting Egypt’s win, and £14 for every £5 for predicting a draw. Your stake (betting amount) is also returned if your bet is successful.
So, how to determine which team to bet on? Start by looking at whether a team’s odds are long or short. Bets that pay a low return are said to have short odds, and bets that give better returns are said to have long odds. However, bettors should note that even though short odds pay less, they have a higher chance of winning. On the other hand, bets with long odds have a low chance of success.
Upon simplifying the fractions for this market, you’ll observe that bets on Belgium pay less. That means they can be considered the favourites in this fixture. However, this does not mean fans should not bet on the Pharaohs. Carefully analyse both teams’ form before making your choice in this market.
Double Chance Odds
| Belgium or Draw | Belgium or Egypt | Draw or Egypt |
| 2/13 | 3/13 | 13/12 |
The Double Chance market increases your chances of winning by covering two outcomes in a single bet:
- Belgium or Draw (1X): Loses if Egypt wins.
- Belgium or Egypt (12): Loses if the match draws.
- Draw or Egypt (X2): It loses if Belgium wins.
This market is useful if you are unsure which team to back or if both teams appear to be evenly matched. However, the tradeoff is that your potential profit is lower as your chance of winning is higher in this market.
Handicap Betting Odds
| Belgium (-0.75) | Egypt (+0.75) |
| 20/27 | 20/21 |
| Belgium (+0.5) | Egypt (-0.5) |
| 1/6 | 7/2 |
| Belgium (-1.75) | Egypt (+1.75) |
| 11/5 | 5/16 |
Choose a handicap bet to give an advantage to your favourite team. For example, you believe that Belgium has an edge, but you want to bet on Egypt. Choose a handicap to give them an advantage. A +1 handicap means one point will be added to Egypt’s final goal tally and deducted from Belgium. So, a final score of 1–0 will be adjusted as 0–1.
Your bet wins or loses depending on the adjusted final score and the goal margin. Here’s how it works:
- Belgium (-0.75)/ Egypt (+0.75): Bets on Egypt win if they win, draw, or lose by one goal, as a score of 2–1 will be calculated as 1.25–1.75. Belgium will need to win with a two-goal margin to overcome the gap (2–0 becomes 1.25–0.75).
- Belgium (-1.75) / Egypt (+1.75): Bets on Egypt win if they win, draw, or lose by a three-goal margin, as a score of 3–0 will be adjusted to 1.25–1.75. Belgium will be able to overcome the gap with a four-goal win margin (4–0 becomes 2.25–1.75).
- Belgium (+0.5) / Egypt (-0.5): Bets on Belgium win in case of a draw.
Wider handicaps will give you a better chance of winning. However, the wider the handicap, the shorter your odds will be.
Both Teams to Score (BTTS) Odds
| Yes | No |
| 13/15 | 5/6 |
The Both Teams to Score (BTTS) market considers whether both teams will score at least one goal in the match. You can bet on one of these two outcomes:
- BTTS Yes: Wins if both teams score at least once. The minimum score should be at least 1–1 for this bet.
- BTTS No: Wins if either or both teams fail to score. It could be a 0–0 draw, or one team scores while the other doesn’t, like 0–1, 2–0, etc.
Consider the clean sheet records when looking at the Belgium vs Egypt odds in the BTTS market. A clean sheet is when the team’s defense is strong, and the opposition team fails to score any goals. Belgium kept five clean sheets in their last 10 matches, and Egypt kept six. Use this data to minimize risk.
Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds
| Over 2.5 | Under 2.5 |
| 5/6 | 5/6 |
Predict whether the total goals scored in Monday’s match will be over or under your chosen number. For this fixture, the betting line is set at 2.5 goals. So, if the final score is 1–2, the combined total becomes three, and Over 2.5 bets win.
Here’s how you can pick:
- Over 2.5 Goals: Select this if you believe we will see three or more goals in the match. Scores like 2–1, 1–3, or 3–0 win this bet.
- Under 2.5 Goals: This market is useful if you think it will be a slow match with very few goals. Any total under 2.5, like 0–2, 0–0, 1–0, 1–1, wins in this bet.
Consider the Belgium vs Egypt odds in this market after checking both teams’ recent scoring history. Belgium averaged 3.6 goals per match in their last 10 fixtures, and Egypt averaged 1.4. This brings their combined average total to 5.0, which is well over the 2.5 betting line.

However, it is better to play it safe and bet only small amounts here, as predicting a precise score is difficult.
