Match K.O. at 17:00 Cairo local time (GMT+2)
Venue: Ismailia Stadium, Ismailia (EGY)
Referee: Noureddine EL JAAFARI (MAR)

Ismaily SC is hoping to change their poor performance run since the beginning of the season.

Ismaily became the third Egyptian side to exit the Arab Zayed Cup at the last-16 stage after suffering a 4-2 shootout defeat by Morocco’s Raja in Casablanca after a 0-0 aggregate draw.

The Dervishes managed to hold Confederation Cup winners Raja to a 0-0 stalemate, the same result of the first leg, but some poor spot-kicks let them down in the shootout.

“Vieira had asked to leave his post a while ago, so the board had already searched for an excellent alternative,” the statement explained.

“After choosing between some coaches, the board selected ?edomir Janevski to take charge in the coming period.

Earlier in October, the 65-year-old Vieira took charge of Ismaily after the departure of Algerian Kheireddine Madoui following a string of poor results.

Under the guidance of the former Zamalek and Smouha manager Vieira, Ismaily played 11 matches; winning five times and losing three. The coach also guided the team to reach the African Champions League round of 32.

Ismaily are currently at the bottom of the Egyptian Premier League table with 13 points from 13 games, 22 behind leaders Zamalek.
