<\/head><\/p>\nEgypt will be aiming to pull off a shock win when they take on Brazil in Saturday\u2019s Olympic Games quarter-final.<\/p>\n
The Pharaohs have already upset the odds by progressing to the knockout stages ahead of Argentina, finishing in second place behind Spain in their group.<\/p>\n
Brazil vs Egypt latest odds<\/p>\n
Egypt are lengthy 13\/2 (7.50) outsiders with bet365 to slay another South American giant by coming out on top at the Saitama Stadium 2002, or priced at 7\/2 (4.50) to take the game into extra-time by grinding out a draw in normal time.<\/p>\n
Looking to retain the gold medal they won on home territory in 2016, Andre Jardine\u2019s men are 2\/5 (1.40) favourites to remain on course for glory with a win here.<\/p>\n

Douglas Luiz is likely to come back into the line-up at the expense of Matheus Henrique, having served his one-match suspension for the red card he received in the 0-0 draw with Ivory Coast.<\/p>\n

Brazil vs Egypt preview<\/p>\n
Although clear underdogs, Shawky Gharieb\u2019s players will back themselves to make things difficult for their illustrious opponents.<\/p>\n
Indeed, the African side ran out 2-1 winners over this opposition in last year\u2019s friendly clash, and come into this game with just one defeat to their name in 11 fixtures in all competitions.<\/p>\n
Having conceded just a single goal in three group games against difficult opposition in Spain, Argentina and Australia, their five-man defence will take some shifting in Saitama.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, the Selecao\u2019s array of creative and attacking talent – including five-goal top scorer Richarlison – should have enough quality to break down even the sternest of opposition backlines.<\/p>\n
Brazil vs Egypt predictions<\/p>\n
All in all, odds of 11\/4 (3.75) could prove excellent value on Brazil edging past a difficult Egypt team by earning a tight win in a game that features under 2.5 goals on Saturday.<\/p>\n
