Cairo International Stadium will host Egypt and South Africa in an international friendly, with the Pharaohs heading into the clash after a convincing 5-0 victory over South Sudan in their latest Africa Cup of Nations qualifier. Mohamed Salah has left the camp, while Mohamed Abdelmonem has also departed the squad. Egypt have been difficult to beat at home defensively, conceding just 0.33 goals per game across their last three home matches, although their attacking numbers have been modest.
South Africa, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back victories over Guinea and Eritrea, including a commanding 5-0 win over Eritrea. Bafana Bafana midfielder Bathusi Aubaas picked up a knock in that game and is expected to miss out, with Brooklyn Poggenpoel likely to step up after replacing him and impressing on his debut. South Africa have been solid overall, conceding just 0.90 goals per game across their last 10 matches and losing only three of those fixtures.
Given Egypt’s limited attacking potential at home and South Africa’s strong recent defensive record, we are tempted to bet on South Africa or Draw, alongside Under 2.5 and Under 3.5 goals.
This match will be played on Sunday 4 October 2026 at 19:00.
