Match info: Venue: Cairo Stadium | 2 Jul 2014 – 21:30 (Cairo Time)
Smouha, inspired by Egypt playmaker Ahmed Hammoudi, are hoping to break the hegemony of Ahly and Zamalek and become the first non-Cairo club to win Egypt’s premier club competition since 2002.
Zamalek are reeling following their loss against Ahly which dented their hopes of ending a 10-year league drought amid uncertainty over the future of rookie coach Mido, who was tasked with turning around the fortunes of the ailing Cairo giants.
If Ahly defeat Petrojet and Smouha fail to beat Zamalek in Wednesday’s penultimate round, A draw for Ahly against Smouha in their final match will be enough to hand them an eighth consecutive title.
