Liverpool hosts Manchester City in a Matchweek 6 Premier League clash. The big derby takes place this Sunday, October 11, at 16:30 at Anfield.
Argentina and Egypt face each other in a match from the 1/8 finals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The match is on Tuesday, July 7, at 17:00 UK Time, with the Argentines being the favorites to continue in the next phase.
Match Preview
The Argentines continue to demonstrate impressive form and will pursue a new ranking among the top eight teams of the World Cup. Argentina is undefeated in its last ten matches, recording nine wins and one draw. On its way to the eliminations, the team defeated Algeria 3-0, Austria 2-0 and Jordan 3-1, and in the round of 16 it overcame Cape Verde 3-2 after extra time (1-1 in regular time). Lionel Scaloni's team impresses with both its efficiency in attack and its stable play in defense.
Egypt also deserves respect for their performance at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The Africans remained unbeaten in the group stage with draws against Belgium and Iran, as well as a 3-1 victory over New Zealand. In the round of 16, they eliminated Australia on penalties after a 1-1 draw in regular time. Mohamed Salah and company showed discipline and character, but they will face a much tougher test against Argentina.
Prediction for Argentina - Egypt
The main attention will once again be focused on Lionel Messi. The Argentine star is having another impressive tournament and has already scored seven goals. If he continues at his current pace, it will not be surprising if he scores at least once against Egypt. I expect Argentina to find a way to victory, Lionel Messi to increase his goal tally, and the gauchos to qualify for the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup with a victory in regular time.
Prediction: 1
