Seven-time champions, Egypt have arrived at this tournament with a weight on their shoulders to follow in the footsteps of past legends that have surmounted them as Africa's most decorated national team. The Pharaohs experience in tournament football will be a major asset to this campaign. However, they have struggled to scrape together any real form going into the competition, winning only one of their last six outings. They put that to one side though in the opening game as a late winner from Mohamed Salah secured an opening win against Zimbabwe.

South Africa will undoubtedly enter this game as underdogs. AFCON winners in 1996, Bafana Bafana have shown steady progress in recent times and have matured as a team leading into this tournament. South Africa will be hoping of a repeat of the 2019 fixture where they famously defeated Egypt in a result that offers hope to their fanbase that an upset is still possible.
