In their previous encounter two weeks ago, Future FC fell narrowly short in Algiers, suffering a 1-0 defeat, allowing their counterparts to take a commanding lead with nine points from three games.
This stumble marked their first loss in the group stage, positioning them second with six points. Al Hilal Benghazi of Libya trails behind in third place with three points, while Supersport of South Africa languishes at the bottom without a single point after three matches.
Eager to regain their winning form, Future FC is keen on overcoming their recent setback, having settled for a 1-1 draw against Ceramica Cleopatra in the league.
Another stumble on Wednesday could extend their winless streak across all competitions.
Coach Ricardo Formosinho has confirmed that all his players are fit for the game, with the squad enjoying an injury-free status at present.
However, on the opposing side, the Algerians, who arrived in Egypt on Monday, will be without striker Khaled Bousseliou, who is yet to make a full recovery from injury.
