Zamalek will play host to Hassania Agadir in the CAF Confederation Cup quarterfinal second-leg match at the Egyptian Army Stadium in Egypt on Sunday.

Kick-off is at 9:00 pm CAT.

The Egyptian giants were held to a 0-0 draw by Hassania Agadir in the first-leg clash which was played in Morocco last weekend.

The three-time CAF Cup winners will be going for a victory which would send them to the semifinals.

Zamalek coach Christian Gross has made it clear that his side will go for a victory at home against the Moroccans.

“We played in a very nice atmosphere, in front of a big amount of supporters for the first time. There is a big game awaiting us in Cairo," Gross said.

“Our goal in the second leg is very clear, which is to grab the win to continue our journey in the Confederations Cup."

Meanwhile, Hassania were frustrated by their much-fancied opponents in the first-leg match and they will be hoping to secure a famous away win.

The Moroccan side is looking to cause an upset and go on to clinch their maiden continental title.

Miguel Gamondi, the Hassania coach, feels that his charges are ready to fight a victory in Egypt.

“We are waiting for a historic game against Zamalek. We are determined to continue our journey in the Confederations Cup," Gamondi said.

"However, it is going to be a difficult task. We didn’t have the chance for a good preparation for the game due to having a midweek game in the league, despite that we are ready for Zamalek’s encounter."
