- (#225270) Belgium | 3-way ML | .
Egypt enters the tournament with a couple of key names that people are going to be expecting great things from. Mo Salah, Liverpool's sensation over the past nine seasons, is set to move on from the club this offseason. That being said, he's still an outstanding talent which I have a lot of respect for. Omar Marmoush, Man City's attacker, will also be a deadly offensive weapon. That being said, I don't think that Egypt has the overall team around it to make things happen in the middle of the pitch for those guys. A Belgium midfield with Kevin De Bruyne is going to be able to run circles around Egypt & control the majority of the ball.
Looking at Belgium, its attack is just as good as Egypt's, if not even better. Doku & Trossard down the wings will be very deadly in this tournament, with Lukaku the most likely choice up front. The big man has had his share of poor moments, but is an elite finisher when he's on his game. I believe that Belgium's defense is a lot better than people are giving it credit for as well. This team could be sneaky good & there's no question in my eyes that it gets this tournament started the right way by picking up all three points against Egypt.
Burns' Prediction: 3-0 Belgium.
