NESN.com’s picks: draw, under
Egypt and Saudi Arabia have been two of the more hopeless teams in the World Cup, with results sending their campaigns from bad to worse. The teams appear closely matched, although Egypt has more recognizable stars and a clearer game plan. Nevertheless, we expect this game to unfold with a friendly spirit and the teams to play to a draw. Bet on that result.
Three or more goals appears to be an unrealistic expectation from this game. The teams have struggled to establish rhythm or build confidence during the game, so we can imagine just a couple of goals, most likely from set-piece situations. Take the under.
