Spain impressed with a commanding 3-0 victory over Serbia, dominating possession and showcasing their prowess on the field. The team's ability to restrict Serbia to just 29% possession highlights their competitive edge. However, as they prepare to face Egypt, expectations are tempered by the African side's strong defensive capabilities. Spain is anticipated to win but may find it challenging to replicate such a dominant performance. The upcoming match will test Spain's adaptability against a resilient defensive opponent.

Spain are flying after beating Serbia 3-0 on Friday (Getty)

Egypt didn’t allow a single shot on target to Saudi Arabia on Friday, so I don’t expect them to lose convincingly against superior Spain. A home win & Under 3.5 goals is the best bet here. 

Key Stats  


  • Spain have won 6 of their last 7 matches. 
  • Spain beat Egypt 2-0 in their last h2h match. 
  • Egypt have kept a clean sheet in their last 3 matches. 

Just One Previous H2H Meeting 


These two sides locked horns in a friendly match in June 2026, Spain claiming a 2-0 victory. 

La Roja Carry Strong Scoring Potential


Spain are coming off a successful World Cup 2026 qualifying campaign, securing 1st place in Group E in quite dominant fashion with five wins, one draw and a 21-2 goal difference.  

They clinched a spot at the WC with a 4-0 road victory against Georgia in mid-November, Mikel Oyarzabal netting a brace, Ferran Torres and Martin Zubimendi also finding the net.  

The only clash La Roja didn’t win was in the final round, being held to a 2-2 draw at home by Turkey. They had 2.59-1.14 expected goals, 73% possession and 21-13 shots in this clash. 

On Friday, Luis de la Fuente’s side defeated Serbia 3-0 in their first 2026 appearance, Oyarzabal scoring a brace, Victor Munoz also on target. 

Egypt Expected to Park the Bus


Egypt had a solid run at AFCON 2025, eliminating Benin 3-1 and Ivory Coast 3-2 in the playoffs before losing to Senegal 1-0 in the semifinal. 

The Pharaohs haven’t shown much against Nigeria in the bronze medal decider, firing just one shot on target in 120 minutes before losing on penalties. 

Hossam Hassan’s side is coming off great performance from last week, claiming a convincing 4-0 victory against Saudi Arabia. Zizo was named man of the match with one goal and one assist. 

Predicted Lineups & Team News 


Spain (4-3-3) Unai Simon, Marcos Llorente, Aymeric Laporte, Dean Huijsen, Marc Cucurella, Rodri, Martin Zubimendi, Pedri, Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres, Mikel Oyarzabal  

Fabian Ruiz, Mikel Merino, Pablo Barrios, Gavi, Alvaro Morata and Nico Williams were not called up for these friendly matches. Barcelona’s goalkeeper Joan Garcia could make his national debut. Gavi was out of contention due to an injury. Rodri has the most appearances for Spain on this roster (60). 

Egypt (4-2-3-1): Mustafa Shobeir, Mohamed Hany, Yasser Ibrahim, Hamdi Fathy, Ahmed Fatouh, Emam Ashour, Marwan Attia, Islam Issa, Ahmed Sayed Zizo, Mahmoud Hassan Trezeguet, Omar Marmoush

Egypt's star player Mohamed Salah decided to miss these two internationals, as well as veteran Mohamed Elneny. Trezeguet is captaining with 93 appearances and 23 goals for the national team.

Verdict

Spain looked fantastic on Friday in a 3-0 win over Serbia, allowing just 29% possession to the opposition. I am backing them to beat Egypt as well but not in a super-convincing fashion, considering African side is good in defending.
