The first leg in the quarter-finals of the CAF Confederation Cup will see Modern Future playing host to Zamalek on Sunday afternoon. The hosts finished second in Group A, while the visitors topped Group B to qualify for the last eight. Modern Future came through the group stages of this competition with 11 points and a record of three wins, two draws and a loss. They were unbeaten at home, beating Al Hilal and Supersport United while drawing to USM Alger. While the hosts have faired well in this competition, they have suffered domestically, currently on 17 points and in 11th place in the Premier League table. Across all competitions, the hosts have managed only one win in their last six games and have failed to score in their last two. Looking further back, Modern Future have recorded just three wins in their last 15, along with eight draws and six losses. They will have their work cut out in this one. 

Meanwhile, Zamalek are also coming into this match carrying underwhelming form. They lost their last two matches, beaten 2-0 by Al Ahly in the domestic cup and 3-2 by El Gouna in the league. As it stands, Zamalek are 13th in the Premier League standings, two points behind their opponents in this match. While they’ve not been at their best lately, the visitors were excellent in the group stages of this competition. They came through the group unbeaten with five wins and a draw in six. On the road in the Confederation Cup, the Royal Club won two and drawn one of their three matches. In addition, they only conceded a single goal in their six group-stage matches, which was against Abu Salim. The visitors have won each of their last five matches against this opponent in all competitions and will be confident of taking a first-leg lead in this match.
