Egypt Starting Eleven

Egypt starting eleven can be predicted by looking at the qualification matches and the most recent friendlies where the team prepares for the tournament matches.

However, despite qualifying for the Russia World Cup, they just barely made it and then didn’t manage to win a single international friendly, even though they played five of them, some against the teams that didn’t make it to the tournament.

This means that the formation might change as the team looks for a better, more effective line-up. Let’s take a look at the possible picks.

World Cup Egypt Starting Eleven

Mohamed Salah is the obvious choice. He’s the greatest star and the main driving force of the team. If he couldn’t make it to the starting eleven, World Cup 2018 would look truly grim for Egypt.

Aside from the world-class attacker who has become a star in Liverpool, we can expect Essam El Hadary, Ahmed Elmohamady, Mohamed Elneny, Mahmoud Trezeguet and Abdallah Said.

Luckily for Egypt, their group is pretty easy in comparison, so they have a chance to advance to the second round for the first time ever, yet we would bet on them only if Mohamed Salah was in the field, but there’s only so much responsibility a single player can take.

Egypt starting 11 will include players who have the best chance to perform well against other World Cup teams, including Mohamed Salah and Ahmed Elmohamady.
