Al-Ahly

The Red Devils secured the top spot in the group thanks to victories in their last two group stage matches against Medeama and Young Africans. In six matches, the team collected 12 points without a single loss. In the quarter-finals, Al-Ahly defeated Simba in both legs - 1-0 away and 2-0 at home. In the first leg of the semi-final, Al-Ahly appeared notably weaker (with an xG score of 2.22 - 0.56), so a draw should be considered a positive outcome.

In the current Egyptian Premier League campaign, Al-Ahly has played only 11 matches and occupies the 11th position in the league table. The team has earned 21 points, which is 14 points behind the league leaders, Pyramids. However, the leaders have played five more matches. Al-Ahly also approached the semi-final matches against Mazembe after suffering an away defeat to Zamalek with a score of 1-2.

Mazembe

Mazembe finished second in the group, securing three victories, one draw, and two defeats in six matches. In the quarter-finals, the Priests played a goalless draw against Petro de Luanda in the first leg at home but managed to snatch a victory in the away leg, despite conceding first, with a winning goal scored in the 90+6th minute.

In the Congolese Ligue 1, the Ravens also missed the last round of matches. In their last match, Mazembe defeated Vita Club 2-1 away from home. This victory marked their tenth consecutive win in the league, placing them at the top of the table with 18 points from six matches. This is two points ahead of Maniema, with two games in hand for the Ravens.
