Pyramids and Mamelodi Sundowns square off in the second leg of the CAF Champions League final on Sunday at the 30 June Stadium.
The tie is firmly in the balance, with the two sides drawing 1-1 in the first leg in Pretoria last weekend. Lucas Ribeiro continued his fine run of form as he put Sundowns ahead in the 54th minute. They were seemingly on course for the win until Waid El Karti equalised deep into injury time.
Both sides will resume their quest to become African champions and book a spot in the CAF Super Cup against CAF Confederations Cup champions Berkane.

Pyramids vs Mamelodi Sundowns Prediction
Pyramids were on the cusp of having a deficit to overcome heading into the return leg, but their last-gasp equaliser left them with a lifeline.
The Egyptians are arguably the favourites to win a maiden continental crown, having won all five games they have played in the Champions League in front of their fans this season. Jurcic Krunoslav's side agonisingly fell short in their domestic title charge and will hope to make amends by winning the biggest prize in African club football.
Sundowns, for their part, need to score, as the away goal rule could be a decider if the tie ends on aggregate. However, they will be confident of getting the job done, as they are unbeaten in 12 games against Egyptian opposition, winning five.
Expect the hosts to claim a narrow victory and also keep a clean sheet.
Prediction: Pyramids 1-0 Mamelodi
