World Cup 2026 Round of 16 Argentina vs. Egypt Predictions

Argentina face Egypt in the World Cup 2026 Round of 16 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on July 7, with kickoff at 12:00 PM ET. The defending champions enter as heavy favorites at -250, while Egypt arrive having already made history by reaching the knockout stage for the first time since 1934.

The match odds reflect the gulf in class that most observers expect to define this contest. Argentina are priced at -250 with BetOnline, while Egypt are out at +750 with the same operator. The draw sits at +370. With Lionel Messi (39) having scored seven goals at this tournament already, and Egypt’s Mohamed Salah (34) carrying the weight of a nation’s expectations, this World Cup 2026 knockout stage fixture carries genuine star power on both sides.
