Argentina v Egypt Football Betting Odds Preview

Argentina v Egypt betting form

Argentina were involved in one of the most entertaining ties of the Round of 32, edging past tournament surprise package Cape Verde after extra time. The World Cup debutants produced a courageous display and pushed the reigning champions all the way, but Argentina's quality eventually proved decisive to book a last-16 showdown with Egypt.

Egypt also needed nerves of steel to reach this stage, overcoming Australia in a dramatic penalty shootout after a hard-fought contest. With both nations boasting world-class talent, this promises to be one of the standout fixtures of the round. The spotlight will undoubtedly fall on two of football's greatest icons as Lionel Messi and Mohamed Salah go head-to-head for a place in the quarter-finals.

Argentina v Egypt football spread betting prices

Our football spread betting prices have Argentina as the favourites with a Goal Supremacy quote of Argentina/Egypt 1.3 – 1.5. This means a 'buy' bet at 1.5 would need an Argentina two goal win to start turning a profit (e.g. two goal win would win 0.5x your stake, three goal win would win 1.5x your stake etc.).

A 1.3 'sell' bet would need an Argentina one goal win, draw or Egypt win to turn a profit (e.g. Argentina one goal win would win 0.3x your stake, draw would win 1.3x your stake and a one goal Egypt win would win 2.3x your stake etc.).

Our spread betting Total Goals line is 2.5 – 2.7. So a 2.7 'buy' bet would need at least three goals to be scored in the match to start turning a profit. Conversely, a ‘2.5’ sell bet would need two goals or less to be scored in the match to turn a profit.

Remember that with spread betting, get the bet wrong and losses can exceed your stake/deposit. E.g. a 2.7 'buy' Total Goals bet would lose 2.7x your stake if the match ended 0-0. In the 1.5 'buy' Supremacy bet example above a one goal Argentina win would lose 0.5x your stake, a draw would lose 1.5x your stake and a one goal Egypt win would lose 2.5x your stake etc. And in the 1.3 'sell' Supremacy example above, the bet would lose 0.7x your stake on a two goal Argentina win, 1.7x your stake on a three goal Argentina win etc.

The First Match Goal in the Australia v Egypt game came in just the 13^th minute. This time round the spread betting market First Match Goal has a spread of 36-39. This means a ‘sell’ at 36 would win 23x your stake if there were a repeat of a 13^th minute opening goal.

Remember that with spread betting, get the bet wrong and losses can exceed your stake/deposit. So for example if the First Match Goal was scored in the 50^th minute a ‘sell’ at 36 would lose 14x times your stake.
