Last year's finalists and 2005 champions ENPPI host Petrojet on Monday January 26th, while Harras Hodoud visit newly-promoted Asyut Petroleum on Tuesday 27th.

ENPPI, who marginally lost to holders Zamalek in 2008, are aiming to clinch the trophy this year, whereas the other three contestants are going for a first-ever title.

Usual suspects Ahli, Zamalek and Ismaili were all handed shocking eliminations from the last 16 phase.
