The Cairo giants’ only hope to qualify lies in beating Senegal’s Teungueth at home in their final game with the hope that Esperance defeat MC Alger. If this happens, the White Knights will advance because of their better head-to-head record with MC Alger.

Already-qualified Esperance are in the driving seat of Group D with 10 points, two points over second-placed MC Alger of Algeria, while Zamalek of Egypt are third with five points and Teungueth FC of Senegal are placed fourth with four points.

Zamalek was on the brink of quitting the Champions League from the group stage but they kept their qualifying hopes alive after beating MC Alger 2-0 in their penultimate group-stage game last week.

“We have to beat Teungueth first then wait for the result of the game between Esperance and MC Alger, so we will play to win,” said Zamalek’s Assistant Coach Osama Nabih.

Zamalek’s assistant coach also said that he expects fair play in the decisive match between Tunisia’s Esperance and Algeria’s MC Alger.

Under the guidance of French coach Patrice Carteron, five-time African champions Zamalek are searching for their first Champions League title since 2002.

“I am confident of the players’ ability to achieve the victory over Teungueth,” Carteron was quoted as saying on Zamalek’s official website during the final training session ahead of the game.
