Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

If you are confident that you will make it for the last Rakaat, or even the last Qa’dah (Tashahhud), you should read your two rakaat sunnah and join the Jamaat.

And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Wassalamu Alaykum
