Monday's Best 2026 World Cup Picks & Predictions: Belgium vs. Egypt
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Belgium (-175) vs. Egypt (+500), DRAW (+295) | O/U 2.5 (-105/-120)
This match between Belgium and Egypt pits the Group G favorites against one another right out of the gate. The European nation is -245 to win the group, while Egypt sits at +400. Kick-off is set for 3:00 p.m. ET from Lumen Field in Seattle, WA.
I'll be on the over in this mid-day contest. There are prolific goal scorers on both ends of the pitch here, with notable players like Romelu Lukaku, Kevin De Bruyne, and Mohamed Salah competing.
For Belgium specifically, when they win, they tend to do so in a big way. Across their 7-3-0 unbeaten run leading up to the World Cup, they netted at least four goals in six of the wins. There's a realistic chance they clear this total by themselves.
But, as I mentioned, with a dynamic player like Salah on the opposite end, I won't be surprised if Egypt helps contribute a goal as well. They've scored at least once in three of their last four matches, with the outlier being a 0-0 friendly draw against Spain. There's no shame in getting blanked by Spain. Let's ride with the over in this one.
Bet: Over 2.5 Goals (-105)
