In the absence of Salah, Zamalek's Marwan Hamdy has had the responsibility of scoring the goals and has not disappointed, proof of this is that he scored one of the goals with which they beat Jordan in the quarterfinals.

Given how dangerous Egypt tends to be throughout the 90 minutes, goalkeeper Mouez Hassen could become one of the important pieces under the three posts, in order to keep a game that seems very evenly matched.

Despite the absence of some stars such as Mohamed Salah, Egypt has not disappointed and has shown that it can be the new monarch of this tournament that it has not won since 1992. In the quarter-final round, they had no trouble defeating their Jordanian counterparts 3-1.

Tunisia has been one of the best teams of the tournament and has already reached the semifinal after defeating Oman 2-1 in the quarterfinals, however, they will have to be forceful with the approaches they can generate, as this complicated their game against Oman.

The Tunisia vs Egypt match will be played at the 974 Stadium, in Doha, Qatar. The kick-off is scheduled at 10:00 am ET.
