Manager Rudi Garcia, whose only defeat in charge came in his first match, has strung together a 13-game unbeaten run heading into this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/outright-markets\/world-cup-2026-group-g-odds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Group G<\/a> clash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/egypt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Egypt<\/a>, meanwhile, are still searching for their first-ever World Cup victory. The Pharaohs have failed to win any of their seven matches across their previous appearances in 1934, 1990, and 2022, drawing twice and losing five times. Another game without victory would see them become only the second nation after Honduras (nine) to go winless in each of their first eight World Cup matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/01\/08162003\/Belgium_08012026_ID2XDRFT4-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1423033\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/01\/08162003\/Belgium_08012026_ID2XDRFT4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/01\/08162003\/Belgium_08012026_ID2XDRFT4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/01\/08162003\/Belgium_08012026_ID2XDRFT4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/01\/08162003\/Belgium_08012026_ID2XDRFT4-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/01\/08162003\/Belgium_08012026_ID2XDRFT4-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/01\/08162003\/Belgium_08012026_ID2XDRFT4-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/01\/08162003\/Belgium_08012026_ID2XDRFT4-90x60.jpg 90w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/01\/08162003\/Belgium_08012026_ID2XDRFT4-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/01\/08162003\/Belgium_08012026_ID2XDRFT4-40x27.jpg 40w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-saudi-arabia-vs-uruguay-stats\">Saudi Arabia vs Uruguay stats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Saudi Arabia snapshot stat:<\/strong> If Saudi Arabia lose they will comfortably have the worst loss rate (70%) of any country to play 20+ World Cup matches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Uruguay snapshot stat: <\/strong>Marcelo Bielsa has never seen one of his sides score more than once in a World Cup match, a sequence that could stretch to eight games.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/saudi-arabia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Saudi Arabia<\/a> head into their seventh World Cup aiming to reach the knockout stages for the first time since their memorable debut in 1994, when they advanced to the last 16.
