Yet another remarkable game that is lined up for 15th June in the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2018 in Russia is between Egypt and Uruguay. The Group A match between Uruguay and Egypt will be the first match of the day this Friday at Ekaterinburg Arena.

 

These two teams will enter the stadium with a mentality to win at 8 a.m. ET. Both the teams are looking to start their opening match with a win, so let's see what are the betting odds, possible line up, and the possible result will be like.

Egypt Vs. Uruguay Betting Odds 

Before betting your money on any of these teams, you need to know what betting odds between these two teams are. As per stats from previous games, Uruguay so far is leading Egypt by one goal, and has -165 on the money line, meaning if you put $165 on the line, if victorious, you will win $100 extra from your bet.

As of 15th June, Egypt can be termed as an underdog with the winning odds of 1:1.6, but 0.6 statistically isn't a huge difference as we saw Russia which was one goal behind Saudi Arabia win the match with 5-0 goal difference.
