Egypt vs Tunisia Prediction and Betting Tips | September 12, 2023

Two African powerhouses square off in a friendly as Egypt take on Tunisia at the 30 June Stadium on Tuesday (September 12).

Their last meeting was in the Arab Cup semifinals in December 2021, where the Carthage Eagles scraped a 1-0 win at Doha's Stadium 974.

Egypt wrapped up their 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign on Friday with a 1-0 win over Ethiopia, thanks to a first-half strike from Pyramids FC midfielder Mostafa Fathy. The seven-time African champion finished top of Group D with 15 points from six games, five above runners-up Guinea.

Rui Vitoria‘s men have now won eight games across competitions since a 4-1 loss against South Korea in June 2022.

Meanwhile, Tunisia wrapped up their AFCON qualifiers in style, cruising to a 3-0 win over Botswana on Thursday. Before that, Jalel Kadri‘s side fell to a 1-0 loss against Equatorial Guinea on June 17, three days before a 1-1 friendly draw with Algeria.

Next up for Tunisia is an Egypt side who have lost six of their last eight meetings between the two nations since November 2005.
