## Match Preview

Belgium arrive in Seattle off the back of a stunning qualifying campaign, scoring 29 goals in eight matches under Rudi Garcia. Their recent form, including a 7-0 thrashing of Liechtenstein and a 5-2 friendly win over the USA, shows a side full of attacking confidence — though they’ve also shown defensive gaps.

Egypt, on the other hand, qualified from [CAF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confederation_of_African_Football) without conceding a single goal across six matches. With Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush leading the attack, Hossam Hassan’s side is compact, disciplined, and dangerous on the counter.

## Predicted Lineups

**Belgium (4-2-3-1):** Courtois; Castagne, De Winter, Debast, De Cuyper; Onana, Tielemans; Doku (c), De Bruyne, Trossard; Lukaku

**Egypt (4-3-3):** El Shenawy; Rabia, Abdelmonem, Mohamed Hany, Ahmed Fatouh; Emam Ashour, Hamdy Fathy, Marwan Attia; Salah (c), Marmoush, Zizo

## Prediction

Belgium are clear favourites here. With Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku, and Jeremy Doku leading the line, their attacking quality should eventually break down Egypt’s tight defensive block. Expect a tense start followed by Belgium asserting control — a narrow but comfortable win for the Red Devils looks likely.

## Key Battle to Watch

The clash between De Bruyne’s creativity and Egypt’s defensive solidity (zero goals conceded in qualifying) could define the match. If De Bruyne finds space between the lines, Belgium should have enough to seal all three points.
