Both sides enter the match having produced a series of solid – if unspectacular – performances so far at the tournament, with each having played out three wins and a draw so far in Morocco.

These performances mean that neither side is regarded as a favourite for the tournament, despite Ivory Cost being the holders and Egypt being the most successful side in competition history.

Nevertheless, this match brings a meeting between two continental giants with plenty of talent on either side, and both nations will be hoping their key players can take them anther step closer to the final tonight.
