Tonight, at Al Salam Stadium in Cairo, Egypt’s Ahly will be facing their long-time rival Mamelodi Sundowns from South Africa in the third round of the CAF Champions League group stage games.
Ahly will be aiming to secure their first victory in the competition.
In the previous week, Ahly suffered a 1-0 defeat against Al-Hilal of Sudan at Omdurman stadium, marking a loss in their Group B opener.
Their first-round match against Cameroon’s Coton Sport was delayed because of their involvement in the Club World Cup. Meanwhile, Mamelodi Sundowns managed to secure a perfect score in the previous two rounds of the group stage.
By defeating Al-Hilal of Sudan 1-0 and winning 3-1 against Coton Sport in an away game, Mamelodi Sundowns has maintained their position as the leaders of Group B with six points.
With two games left to play, Ahly are currently in third place in the rankings with no points. Nevertheless, they go into Saturday’s game with some momentum following their 3-0 victory against Aswan in the Egyptian Premier League on Wednesday.
In the African Champions League, Ahly has faced off against Mamelodi Sundowns 12 times in the past, with the Red Devils emerging victorious in five encounters while losing three times and drawing in four matches.
