Pyramids have a strong opportunity to finish the job after winning away from home, but they will need to produce a balanced performance combining defensive discipline with attacking efficiency.
Gor Mahia Refuse to Give Up
Despite losing the first leg by two goals, Gor Mahia still have hope of turning the tie around.
The Kenyan side will need to score early in Cairo to reduce the deficit and bring themselves back into contention.
