Belgium vs Egypt: Records, Stats, Goals, Head to Head & everything to know

Belgium await a stern test in Egypt in their final warm-up game before the World Cup. The match on Friday will be heavily in favor of the Europeans, however, their priority will not necessarily be to win. As this will be the last time Belgium will take to the pitch before the start of the showpiece event in Qatar, Roberto Martinez will be keen to use this opportunity to experiment with his team for this fixture. With Belgium likely to have their sights set on the World Cup, Egypt could take advantage of the situation to secure a win.

Furthermore, this will be the last time Egypt play this calendar year, so their players will want to end 2022 on a high note. Notably, their star forward Mohamed Salah is on the verge of achieving a milestone as he is one goal away from reaching 50 strikes. The Liverpool frontman would love to reach that landmark against Belgium on Friday. Meanwhile, Belgium had a mediocre Nations League, finishing only second in Ligue A Group 4. They are going into this fixture after losing to the Netherlands in their previous match.
