Egypt vs Tunisia Match Analysis & Prediction
12/09/2023 7:00 pm
Egypt and Tunisia will meet on Tuesday at the 30 June Air Defence Stadium after their final matches of the AFCON qualifying.
While the Pharaohs beat Ethiopia 1-0 in Cairo on Friday, their North African rivals secured a 3-0 victory over Botswana that saw them end atop their group.
Mohamed Salah was uninvolved for Egypt, but that did not affect the outcome against Ethiopia, with that win their fifth in qualifying, a joint-high with Mali, Algeria and Nigeria.
Next year’s AFCON may be four months away, but Egypt begin their preparations now, with Tuesday’s encounter to come against possible favourites at the continental showpiece.
Egypt are eight matches unbeaten under Portuguese manager Rui Vitoria, whose year in charge of the team has produced as many wins.
Even though Tunisia could only secure four wins in qualifying, it was enough to top Group J, where their round six victory over Botswana and Equatorial Guinea’s draw with bottom side Libya saw the North African side end above the Equatorians.
The Eagles of Carthage conceded one goal in six matches in qualifying, a statistic that could put them in good stead when they face Egypt in Cairo.
Egypt vs. Tunisia Head to head
In the 10 previous meetings between these two teams, Egypt have claimed three victories while Tunisia have won seven. Tunisia have scored 11 goals and conceded seven in the process.

Youssef Msakni is expected to play from the off in Cairo after the attacker was a second-half introduction into the 3-0 victory over Botswana.
Ali Abdi was an attacking threat in that game, and the left-back should retain his place in the team on Tuesday.
