Belgium take on the visitors Egypt in a friendly international match. The match will be played on Friday, November 18th.
Belgium national team was able to renew its historical record 4 years ago. Then, under the leadership of Roberto Martinez, the Belgians were finally able to live up to considerable expectations. They were able to win "bronze" in WC2018, and on the way they knocked out such a favorite as Brazil! However, a number of players from that team have already ended career, at least at the international level - especially in defense. Only a lazy person did not notice a sharp regression in Eden Hazard's performance after moving from Chelsea to Real Madrid. Yes, Romelu Lukaku unsuccessfully returned to Chelsea, and this season he missed a lot due to injury. Already at the Euro, last year, the national team stopped 1 step earlier than at the World Cup. But, on the other hand, the national team has such key players as De Bruyne and Courtois. And at the continental championship, they eliminated Portugal in the playoffs, after which they lost to the future triumphant, Italy. In the group in Qatar, they have easy opponents, Canada, Morocco and Croatia - we are clearly waiting for an exit to the playoffs. And now there will be a warm-up, and now, most likely, the reservists will be blowing off steam.

In 2018, Egypt was able to go to the world championship - only for the 3rd time in history. But on the eve of the tournament, Salah was injured in the final of the Champions League, and until now they are arguing about the fault of Sergio Ramos in that episode. As a result, the "Pharaohs" failed completely, remaining without points even with Saudi Arabia. But this year, the team had an even bigger, even deeper tragedy in terms of drama. An identical scenario had happened twice, when it was not possible to succeed at a critical moment, in the penalty shootout. And Senegal turned out to be stronger both times! Sadio Mane and company defeated Mohamed and company in the final of the African Cup of Nations by means of 11-meters back in the winter. And then they turned the same trick in the decisive match for entry to the World Cup. The sides exchanged minimal, 1-0, victories, and then again it was time for the fateful penalty shootout for the Egyptians.
The sides played only in friendly matches. In 1999 and 2005, the Egyptians were stronger. But on the eve of the previous World Cup, in June 2018, the Belgians won 3-0. Bookmakers are confident that the Red Devils will win. We recommend betting on the fact that Belgium will win in the 1st half and the match.
Prediction for the match: Belgium to win the first half and the match.
