LIVE: Al Ahly v Tanta | Egyptian Premier League | 04-24-2017
Match K.O. at 20:00 Cairo local time
Venue: El Salam stadium, Cairo
Referee: Mohamed El-Hanafi
Al Ahly will be looking to go 10 points clear on top of the Egyptian Premier League when they meet Tanta tonight in the Egyptian Premier League.
The Red Devils are steadily marching towards a 39th league triumph, maintaining their dominance of domestic football.
Ahly are on a run of six straight victories and have finally found a striker to rely on, with new recruit Souleymane Coulibaly quickly establishing himself after joining in January from Scottish side Kilmarnock.
The Ivorian frontman scored three goals in as many league games, including a brace on his debut in the competition when Ahly crushed Dakhleya 4-0 early in April.
Egypt and Africa’s most successful outfit are expected to ease past Tanta, although the latter have improved of late, drawing with Enppi and beating Masry to move four points clear of the relegation zone.
A win for Ahly will take them 10 points clear of surprise package Maqassa, whose winning run ended on Saturday when they slumped to a 1-0 defeat by Wadi Degla, a loss which was described by their highly-rated coach Ihab Galal as “bitter and cruel in this part of the season”.
Ahly, who have only conceded four goals so far this season, will be without central defender Ahmed Hegazy and winger Walid Soliman due to injuries.
