Projected final score: 2-1<\/h3>

Argentina are the clear favourites here, priced at 1.36<\/a>, and their perfect five-match winning run backs that up. Messi's 7 tournament goals<\/strong> and historic scoring streak in consecutive World Cup games make the Albiceleste's attacking threat near-impossible to contain, while Egypt's DDWDL form and penalty-shootout route through Australia signal fragility against elite opposition.<\/p>

A three-goal total feels right given Egypt's Mohamed Salah has created 16 chances<\/strong> this tournament and can punish Argentina's exposed right flank following Montiel's suspension. However, Egypt's xG of 1.4 per game and defensive solidity limit the likelihood of a high-scoring affair, making 2.50<\/a> a natural fit alongside a narrow Argentina victory.<\/p>
