Al Ahly vs Smouha | Match Preview | Egyptian Premier League 2013
Ahly are second in Group B but they will overtake leaders Bani Suef Telephones, who have seven points, if they beat Smouha.
Ahmed Abdel-Zaher may be given the nod to spearhead Ahlys unproductive frontline when the team face Alexandria-based club Smouha away from home on Wednesday.
Ahly signed Abdel-Zaher from ENPPI last month to bolster their attack as they eye an eighth consecutive league title but he is yet to make his debut, with coach Hossam El-Badry still relying on the old guard.
Smouha, who spent big in the close season to reinforce their squad, made a disappointing start as they could only collect one point from two games.
