Pre-tournament favourites Spain begin their quest for World Cup glory on Monday against minnows Cape Verde but the pick of the day’s games comes a little later as Belgium take on Egypt at Lumen Field in Seattle.
We’ve got the game covered in our dedicated Match Predictions section, and now I’ve delved into the player markets to put together this 18/1 Bet Builder tip with Paddy Power.
Belgium vs Egypt World Cup Bet Builder
Jeremy Doku To Have 3+ Shots
Jeremy Doku averaged 3.4 shots per-game for Belgium during qualifying and finished the Premier League season with Manchester City with 18 attempts in his final 10 games, recording at least three attempts in two of his final five games. Doku is one of Belgium’s key attacking outlets and three or more shots seems reasonable.
Trezeguet To Have 1+ Shots On Target (including woodwork)
Trezeguet enjoyed a productive season with Al Ahly with 11 goals in 21 games. The Egypt wingers should get some space to exploit on the flanks as Belgium’s full-backs tend to push forward and Trezeguet can engineer at least one shot on target.
Youri Tielemans 3+ Foul Involvements
Youri Tielemans was fouled on average 1.3 times per-game during qualifying and 1.6 times per-game over the course of the Premier League season with Aston Villa. Tielemans also committed exactly one foul per-game in the Premier League and just over during Villa’s Europa League campaign so three or more fouls involvements looks likely.
Marwan Attia To Be Shown A Card
Marwan Attia was booked twice in five AFCON games for Egypt earlier this year and had four yellow cards in eight qualifiers for the Pharaohs. The 27-year-old defensive midfielder looks the standout contender to be booked.
