Al Ahly are already the Premier League winners and can relax with the season objective secured. If they do relax it might give the away team a slightly better chance in this one. For Haras El Hodood it's their last days at this level as relegation is a fact.

There haven't been much to rest for the home side, as they performed in a Premier League match only three days earlier. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Al Mokawloon.
