Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Aswan & Al Masry face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Egypt Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It's no vacation for neither Aswan nor Al Masry as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
These teams have little in common geographically as Al Masry have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
