Tactical Preview & Team News
- Amakhosi’s Mission: After a domestic hiccup in the Nedbank Cup, co-coaches Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef are banking on their formidable home record. Chiefs have lost only 5 of their last 35 home fixtures in African competition.
- Key Absences: Chiefs remain without the injured Bradley Cross, Rushwin Dortley, and Sibongiseni Mthethwa. However, the return of Gaston Sirino to full sharpness could be the x-factor.
- The Opposition: Al Masry arrived in Polokwane missing Rwandan international Bonheur Mugisha (suspended) and defender Baher El Mohamady (injury). Despite this, the “Green Eagles” possess the best shot conversion rate in the group (23%).
- Head-to-Head: The Egyptians took the first leg 2-1 in Cairo. Amakhosi need a win (preferably 1-0 or by two clear goals) to overturn the head-to-head disadvantage.
