Reigning champions to march on

After winning every group fixture, Argentina were taken to extra time in the Round of 32. They needed to face 16 attempts across 120 minutes of football. Cabo Verde managed to equalise twice, before finally succumbing to a 3-2 defeat.

That will offer encouragement to Egypt. Both teams have scored in all of the past five internationals involving the Pharaohs. With Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush in attack, they are capable of scoring a goal from just one moment of individual quality.

Despite that, stopping Lionel Messi will still be a very difficult task for the Egyptian defence. Messi has already netted seven times in just four appearances at this World Cup. His stunning form suggests backing Argentina to win and both teams to score offers value.
