What shaped the view
- + Spain should own the ball, but Egypt are set up to slow the game and keep it in controlled phases rather than an open trade.
- + Spain start a very aggressive wide 4-3-3, while Egypt's 4-2-3-1 has a double pivot and a naturally compact look.
- + The result feels less in doubt than the margin, so taking the handicap cushion is cleaner than asking Spain to win by three.

Injuries
No injury report is currently available for this match.
Why it made the board
Spain have the better team, but Egypt's shape is built to protect central space and friendly rotation often makes big margins less reliable than the outright winner. Spain can control this without necessarily turning it into a rout.
Main risk
If Spain's wing pressure breaks Egypt early, the game can open up and the talent gap can stretch to a 3-0 or 4-0 scoreline.
