Potential Game Changers, and total Dream11 points earned in the tournament:
- Mohamed Salah: 28

- Bongani Zungu: (First game on Dream11)
Likely to score:
- For Egypt: Mohamed Salah, Trezeguet
- For South Africa: Lebo Mothiba, Sibusiso Vilakazi
Captain and Vice-Captain options:
Mohamed Salah: Started slowly, and that’s understandable considering he featured in more than 55 games for Liverpool across the 2018-19 season. It shows his importance to Liverpool, and a crucial factor he is for his country as well, on any given day. He has now scored in the last two games for Egypt, which is a warning sign for all the teams.

Lebo Mothiba: Though he has fired blanks in the first three games, there’s no denying that he is Bafana Bafana’s biggest threat going forward. The 23-year-old contributed immensely in Strasbourg’s cause this season, racking up 12 goals.
- Games: 43
- Minutes: 2269
- Goals: 12
- Assists: 02
- Passing%: 79
- Headed Goals: 02
- Passes per Game: 24

Mahmoud Hassan aka Trézéguet: The 24-year-old’s stock is rising with every game and no wonder Aston Villa are reportedly looking to make a bid for Egypt’s highly rated striker. He scored a goal and supplied one assist during the group stage.
- Games: 46
- Minutes: 3552
- Goals: 10
- Assists: 10
- Passing%: 75
- Headed Goals: 01

X- factor:
How long can South Africa stop Egypt?
South Africa must isolate Salah at any cost if they are to get a positive result here. For that to happen, Tarek Hamed and Mohamed Elneny must not be given room in the midfield.
But who can do the job for South Africa?
Bongani Zungu: Injury hampered his growth in the last year or so, as he missed a large chunk of the 2018-19 season with Amiens SC. But his overall ability is not in question, and he showed his worth to the team by scoring a winner in the opening game.
And Thulani Serero and Kamohelo Mokotjo.
Suggested combination:
EGY vs SA Dream11 potential winner:
Egypt are too powerful for South Africa at this moment and a comfortable win for the host nation is our call.
