The Cairo giants Ahly, wrapped up their record-extending 42nd Egyptian Premier League title this season with six rounds left after gaining an unassailable 20-point lead on top over second-placed Pyramids FC.
A game of musical chairs is running between Pyramids FC and Zamalek as the latter lost two points after the goalless draw with Wadi Degla last week placing them at third place with only one point behind Pyramids FC.
Ahly consider the game against Pyramids a crucial preparatory match for the Red Devils, against Morocco’s Wydad, in the semi-final of the CAF Champions League which is yet to take place on 17, October.
Since the goalless draw with Wadi Degla and losing the runner-up place to Pyramids, some Zamalek supporters took to social media and decided to support the team’s arch rivals Ahly in their mission against Pyramids FC. Other Zamalek hard-core fans however, refused the idea despite they possibly being absent from the prestigious continental tournament next season.
Pyramids FC will start the match with full capacity as winger Abdalla El-Saied, who always shines against his former club Ahly, is fit for the game after missing the last match between the two sides.
The Red Devils welcome back the services of winger Ahmed El-Sheikh and Senegalese striker Aliou Badji after missing Enppi game due to injuries.
