Australia reached the knockout stage after beating Turkey 2-0, drawing with Paraguay and Switzerland, but also suffered defeats against the USA and Mexico.

They have generally been difficult to break down, although creating clear scoring chances has not always been straightforward.

Egypt have looked equally competitive throughout the tournament.

They defeated New Zealand 3-1 and earned draws against both Belgium and Iran, with their only recent defeat coming away to Brazil in a friendly.

Those results suggest they are capable of competing with higher-ranked opponents.

The FIFA rankings also highlight how closely matched these teams are, with only two places separating them.

That makes the qualification market more attractive than backing either side to win inside ninety minutes.

This also has the feel of a tight knockout match where extra time or even penalties cannot be ruled out.

For that reason, backing Egypt to qualify rather than simply to win in normal time provides additional protection while still offering attractive value at odds of 1.72.
