South Africa's equivalent record is eight wins, six draws and six losses, with 22 scored and 19 conceded. It's a similar overall shape to Egypt's, just with a couple more losses mixed in.

Neither side has a clear recent edge in results, so this one could come down to fine margins on the day.

Comparative Team Statistics: Egypt vs South Africa

Head-to-Head

Looking at the last four meetings, South Africa actually hold the better record, with two wins to Egypt's one and a single draw in between. Egypt's win came most recently, a 1-0 result in the Africa Cup of Nations last December.

Before that, South Africa won 3-1 in March 2025 during African Nations Championship qualifying, drew 1-1 with Egypt in the other qualifying leg, and won 1-0 back in the 2019 AFCON.

Recent history doesn't obviously favour the home side; South Africa have shown they can get results in this fixture too.

Players Worth Watching

Mohamed Hany has been Egypt's most productive creator in the recent sample, setting up two goals across four appearances. For South Africa, T. Moremi has picked up two yellow cards in his last three matches, which is worth bearing in mind given how the game might be officiated.
