Kaizer Chiefs' run of four wins was ended on Wednesday night when they fell 2-1 in the Nedbank Cup Round of 32 against Stellenbosch.
However, they beat ZESCO United both away and home by a solitary goal to hit seven points in their pool alongside the Green Eagles. It explains why the win on Sunday will be vital.
After falling 2-1 against Zamalek in the CAF Confederation Cup, Al Masry followed it up with a 1-1 draw with ZED in the Egyptian Premier League on Wednesday night.
In the head-to-head record, this will be the second time in history that the two teams have met. It ended 2-1 in favour of the Egyptian side in the initial meeting.
Chiefs need a 1-0 win to advance to the quarter final, while Al Masry need any win, meaning if they finish on level (10) points, Amakhosi will be eliminated owing to a poor head-to-head record.
