Goal Scorer:

South Africa
South Africa came away from their match against Namibia with no fresh injuries, and considering their performance in that fixture, it would come as no surprise if Hugo Broos sent out an unchanged lineup in this one.

At 34 years of age, Zwane was excellent in attack and should lead the line again here, while Zakhele Lepasa will hope to make the starting 11 after another impressive cameo off the bench.

If Lepasa is promoted to the starting lineup, that would likely see his Orlando Pirates teammate Evidence Makgopa, who has yet to open his account in this competition, drop to the bench.
South Africa possible starting lineup:
Williams; Mudau, Xulu, Mvala, Modiba; Maseko, Mokoena, Sithole, Tau; Zwane, Lepasa

Tunisia
Tunisia's forward, Taha Yassine Khenissi, has officially been ruled out for the remainder of the tournament due to a knee injury he sustained early in his side's opening match against Namibia.

Haythem Jouini was an unused substitute in the draw to Mali, but considering Tunisia's need for additional firepower in this match, the Stade Tunisien striker could be brought into the starting 11 to lead the line alongside Sheffield United's Anis Ben Slimane.
Tunisia possible starting lineup:
Said; Abdi, Talbi, Meriah, Kechrida; Achouri, Skhiri, Laidouni, Rafia, Jouini, Slimane
Prediction: South Africa 1-1 Tunisia
