LIVE: Smouha v Al Hilal Elobied | CAF Confederation Cup | June 3rd 2017

Match K.O. at 23:00 Cairo local time (GMT+2)
Venue: Borg El Arab, Alexandria

Referee: R�douane Jiyed

Egypt’s Smouha will be eager to remain in charge of their Confederation Cup Group C when they host Sudan�s Hilal Obayed at Alexandria�s Borg El-Arab Stadium tonight.

Going into the third group game level on three points with Hilal, Zambia�s ZESCO United and Angola�s Recreativo, the Alexandrians – who are in charge on goal difference – will be eager to go points clear on top of the table.

An injury-hit Smouha side did manage to beat Recreativo at home in their previous group game, prevailing 2-0 thanks to goals from Ahmed Raouf and Islam Mohareb.

And with keeper Mahdi Soliman joining an ever-growing injury list – including the likes of Ahmed Temsah, Yasser Ibrahim and Mansou Kouakou – with a cruciate ligament tear, Smouha still suffer severe shortage heading into their African clash.

Moemen Soliman�s men, who are currently fifth of the Egyptian league standings, are vying for the Confederation Cup-qualifying third place, only seven points behind third-placed Zamalek with four games remaining.

Zamalek will be deducted three points by the end of the season for forfeiting a league game against Maqassa, keeping the race for the third place wide open.
