Predicted Argentina vs Egypt key battles
Lionel Messi vs Marwan Attia
Egypt must stop Messi from receiving the ball between midfield and defence. Attia’s positioning will be crucial.
Mohamed Salah vs Facundo Medina
Salah is Egypt’s biggest counter-attacking threat. Medina cannot afford to give him space to cut inside onto his left foot.
Lautaro Martínez vs Ramy Rabia
Lautaro’s movement in the box could be decisive. Rabia needs to stay tight and avoid being dragged out of position.
Enzo Fernández vs Emam Ashour
This midfield battle can decide the tempo. Enzo gives Argentina control, while Ashour can break lines and support Egypt’s attacks.
Rodrigo De Paul vs Ahmed Fatouh
De Paul’s energy on Argentina’s right side may force Fatouh deep, limiting Egypt’s left-sided attacks.
