Pyramids will be without star attacker Ibrahim Adel, but former Al Ahly star Ahmed Shobier feels the Egyptian league leaders have stronger chance of advancing
"Pyramids will miss a very important player in the match against Orlando, which is Ibrahim Adel due to injury. He is a significant winger who knows how to score and is a very distinguished player," Shobier said on Egyptian radio, as per Ysscores.
"I see that Pyramids' chances are stronger than Orlando's, and Pyramids' experience is greater than Orlando's. Statistically, Pyramids have a 60% chance against the South African champion.
"Pyramids has become one of the heavyweight teams in Egypt; Al Ahly couldn't beat them in both league matches, and they defeated Zamalek 3-0 in the first round.
"I believe the team has a golden opportunity to make history in Africa, but they need intense focus and determination."
