Match K.O at 20:00 Cairo local time
Venue: Military Stadium (Suez)
Referee: Ibrahim Nour El-Din
Ahly will be looking to get the better of second-placed Maqassa in a six-pointer clash that will see the Egyptian league rivals lock horns at Cairo’s El-Salam Stadium.
Ahly will be hoping for a morale-boosting win today to continue their winning run, which included two consecutive 3-0 victories over newly-promoted sides Nasr Taadin and Sharqeya in the past two weeks.
“Maqassa are a very good side with good management in charge, but no matter how important the game is, it’s as important as every league game,” Abdel-Hafiz told news media.
“It will be a strong game for sure, but it’s not the end of the road anyway, it’s a game like every other league game.”
Maqassa manager Galal will be sweating on the fitness of attacking midfielder Ahmed El-Sheikh, who bagged eight goals this season, to be fit in time to take part against parent club Ahly, who sent him out on loan.
Ahly, on the other side, have injury problems to address, with midfield duo Hossam Ghaly and Amr El-Sulaya nursing hamstring injuries.
Center-back Rami Rabia, meanwhile, has fully recovered from a nagging knee injury he sustained last season, but manager Hossam El-Badry does not seem quite in a rush to field the Egypt international.
