The task facing the Red Devils has become increasingly difficult given the challenging circumstances surrounding the highly anticipated match at Cairo International Stadium on Saturday evening. Al Ahly needs to win by a margin of two goals to secure qualification, but faces an additional hurdle with the absence of home support due to a ban imposed by the African Confederation following incidents during the match against Morocco’s AS FAR.
- Scheduled Time: 9:00 PM Cairo and Mecca time

- Current Situation: Esperance holds a 1-0 lead from the first leg
The Tunisian team possesses strong assets for the encounter, needing only a draw of any kind, or even a loss by a single goal even as scoring, to advance to the semi-finals. This reality places a significant burden on the Egyptian players, who will for the first time in their European and African history, play such a crucial game without the roar of their fans.
