Al Ahly have a chance to go top of their Champions League group after Esperance and Wydad played out a goalless draw on Saturday.
Ahly are gunning for another win over Mouloudia Alger on Sunday night to leapfrog Group B’s leading duo Wydad Casablanca and Esperance in the CAF Champions League group stage.
Wydad and Esperance remain tied on six points but the Moroccans have a better goal difference, while Ahli are third on four points, three ahead of Alger.
“Our opponents will be looking for a morale-boosting win. We are also targeting all three points.
“If we beat Moulodua and Wydad (in Morocco) we will virtually secure our place in the semifinal.”
Jose reinforced Ahly’s squad with several close-season signings, including Brazilian striker Fabio Junior, forward El-Sayed Hamdy, playmaker Walid Soliman and defender Mohamed Naguib.
