WORLD CUP GROUP G: The Ultra previews BELGIUM v EGYPT with a recommended BETDAQ bet.
🏆 World Cup 2026 🏆
🇧🇪 Belgium v Egypt 🇪🇬
8pm Group G gets underway with a cracking clash on WORLD CUP 2026 Betdaq Betting Exchange! as Belgium take on Egypt in Seattle on Monday night. There are storylines everywhere you look here; Belgium’s fading golden generation getting one last crack at a World Cup, and Mo Salah leading Egypt in what is almost certainly his final tournament. Group G has no shortage of off-field drama with Iran in the mix too, but on the pitch this is comfortably the tie of the group – and both sides know that three points here probably settles who tops it. Belgium come into the game as the odds on favourites at 1.7 with Egypt 6.0 and the draw is 4.0 at the time of writing.
Belgium topped UEFA Group J unbeaten in qualifying, but anyone who watched them knows that headline flatters them. They drew in Kazakhstan, were held twice by North Macedonia and shipped five goals across two games against Wales – hardly the stuff of a team coming into a World Cup fancied. They have been a very popular “dark horse” selection for recent major tournaments; this year they come in trading 46.0 to win outright. You could say as well that leading up to the World Cup, Rudi Garcia has tinkered with formations and personnel throughout, and they arrive without a truly settled XI. This is the last World Cup for multiple members of the famed golden generation –-De Bruyne, Lukaku, Courtois and Witsel may all be making their final appearances – and we all know the script by now: sail through qualifying, fluff the lines at the pressure moment!
Perhaps that’s very unfair on Belgium, but here we are. Egypt are back at the World Cup for the first time since 2018, they’ve yet to ever win an actual World Cup game, but that might change this year. They were dominant in CAF qualifying, winning eight of ten with 20 scored and just two conceded, and they followed that up with a run to the Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals. Salah is the story here of course. He has been in the headlines at Liverpool for all the wrong reasons this season, and as a club legend he was treated quite poorly in my opinion – he arrives with a serious point to prove, but the negative is he didn’t get much game time this season, and he is getting older. It will be very interesting to see the performance level he brings after this season.

Belgium should win this in my opinion – the squad depth is a level above anything Egypt can call on, and beating average opposition is basically what this Belgium side do best. Calling Egypt average is very harsh admittedly, but Salah has had an indifferent season and basically as I said, it’s games like this that Belgium excel at. We might get an entertaining game here, Belgium have been leaking a few goals recently, and Over 2.5 goals is trading 2.08 and I am slightly surprised that’s not favourite. I feel these two will gel together well for a good game; granted tournament openers are usually cagey affairs. I’m going to keep stakes small here, and I’m happy to take the 1.7 on Belgium – but I couldn’t put anyone off Over 2.5 goals.
The Ultra Says:
One point win Belgium to beat Egypt at 1.7 with BETDAQ BETTING EXCHANGE.
