Uzbekistan vs Egypt Prediction and Betting Tips | July 27th 2024

Uzbekistan and Egypt will battle for three points on matchday two of the Paris 2024 Olympics football tournament on Saturday (July 27). The game will be played at Stade de la Beaujoire.

The Egyptians started their tournament with an uninspiring goalless draw against debutants Dominican Republic on Wednesday. They started the game poorly and were lucky to have seen a goal scored against them wrongly ruled out and also cleared a goal-bound shot off the line - all in the opening 15 minutes.

Uzbekistan, meanwhile, fell to a 2-1 defeat to Spain in their first-ever Olympics game. They went behind to Marc Pubill's 28th-minute strike while Eldor Shomurodov drew the game level from the spot in first half injury time. Sergio Gomez scored the winning goal in the 62nd minute, three minutes after missing a penalty.

The loss left the White Wolves at the foot of Group C on zero points while Egypt are second on one point.

Uzbekistan vs Egypt Prediction

Uzbekistan put up a good fight in a narrow loss to Spain. That was their first-ever game at the Olympics and the White Wolves will be hoping to build on their performance. Timur Kapadze's side need a positive result here to boost their chances of qualification before their crucial game against fellow debutants Dominican Republic on Tuesday.

Egypt are seeking a seventh Olympics quarterfinal appearance. Their draw with Dominican Republic means they have started consecutive Olympics football tournaments with goalless draws in their opening games.

Although one side could nick a win, we are backing the two sides to share the spoils in a low-scoring stalemate.

Prediction: Uzbekistan 1-1 Egypt
