Stellies have just one win in their last five fixtures. They drew the first leg a week ago and face a daunting trip to Cairo for this one.

Two late goals conceded led to a Nedbank Cup exit as they lost 3-1 to Kaizer Chiefs. A fine 0-0 draw with ten men followed at home to Orlando Pirates before winning 2-1 at Sekhukhune United

Prior to the first leg, they lost 1-0 at Magesi despite having 62% possession. Last week’s match vs Zamalek ended 0-0 as both sides managed a paltry two shots on target.

Centre forward Lehlohonolo Mojela is out injured. Ashley Cupido is hoping to start up front but it could be a false nine instead.

Stellenbosch have no suspensions and a full strength squad otherwise.
