Vs
Both these teams impressed in their first game out. Russia putting 5 past a very poor Saudi team, while Egypt managed to hold Uruguay out for over 80 minutes before conceding.
Hopefully with Mo Salah back and ready Egypt will have a much better time in attack as they looked rather aimless without a confident striker up front.
Although they scored 5 goals, you have to take into account that Saudi were completely awful but still managed to create 3 or 4 really good chances against this Russian defence.
Egypt know they need a result here to have any hope of getting out while Russia can guarantee a round of 16 by winning here. If Salah is fit, this isn't even a contest, Egypt win comfortably, if not it becomes a lot different.
2-0 Egypt if Salah starts. 1-1 if he doesn't.
