Live: Al Ahly v El-Entag El-Harby | Egyptian Premier League
Match K.O at 19:45 Cairo local time | 12:45 ET Canada – USA
Venue: Petro Sport stadium (Cairo)
Referee: Mohamed Maarouf
Ahly still need to settle on their best starting line-up as they seek to make up for a disappointing season that saw them surrender the league title to bitter rivals Zamalek after winning the competition for eight straight reasons.
However, they are plagued by administrative problems after a court ruling dissolved the club’s board of directors that was elected in 2014. The verdict was suspended on appeal but it remains to be seen whether incumbent chairman Mahmoud Taher will remain in his position.
Sunday’s opponents Entag signed several veterans in the close season, including former Borussia Dortmund forward Mohamed Zidan and Egypt’s 2010 Nations Cup hero Gedo, but they made a disappointing start that saw them only collect 11 points from as many games.
They also said they were likely to rescind the contract of Zidan after criticizing his commitment.
Ahly lie eighth in the table with 16 points from eight games, six behind leaders Maqassa who played four games more.
