Team news
Australia will be without forward Mathew Leckie, who picked up a hamstring issue in the Group D defeat by the United States.
Defender Jacob Italiano has also been sidelined with a groin problem having appeared in the games against the US and Turkey.
Egypt talisman Mohamed Salah is a doubt with a hamstring injury. The former Liverpool star was substituted off just before the hour mark in the Pharaohs' draw with Iran and could now miss his nation's round of 32 clash.
Salah is following a treatment programme in a bid to be ready and Egypt are hopeful he will be able to play at least some part.

The stats
After scoring twice in an opening game win against Turkey, the Socceroos have fired a blank in their last two World Cup games
The last four matches involving Egypt have seen both teams score, but before that the Pharaohs had kept four straight clean sheets.
Australia have lost five of their last 10 games, scoring just one goal in those defeats.
Egypt have advanced from the World Cup group stage for the first time — the Pharaohs competed in the 1934 tournament which started with a round of 16.
This is the third time the Socceroos have reached the knockout stages of the World Cup, also achieving the feat in 2006 and 2022.
The two sides last met in November 2010, with Egypt winning the international friendly 3-0.

Prediction
Egypt enter the game as slight favourites having gone three games unbeaten to advance from Group G.
While Australia enjoyed an impressive opening game win over Turkey, the Socceroos lost to the United States before being held by Paraguay.
The Pharaohs have lost just one of their last eight games, beating New Zealand and drawing with Belgium and Iran to reach the round of 32.
While Egypt should win, it will likely be a narrow victory, especially if Mohamed Salah is unable to start.
Australia have scored a total of just three goals in their last five games while Egypt kept four clean sheets in five matches in the lead up to this tournament.
Backing a Pharaohs victory and under 2.5 goals could be the way to play this round of 32 contest.
