K.O. 19:00 Cairo local time (12:00 ET Canada-USA)
Venue: Arab Contractors Stadium
Referee: Mostafa Osman
Only a few days following their impressive victory against arch-rivals Zamalek, the Egyptian Premier League champions Ahly are gearing up to face Arab Contractors on Sunday determined to preserve their undefeated streak in the league.
The Red Devils are basking in success, having clinched the League title and recently triumphed over arch-rivals Zamalek with a convincing 4-1 victory just 48 hours ago.
Despite their accomplishments, Ahly’s primary focus remains on completing the lengthy league campaign without suffering a single defeat.
Currently seated at the top of the league table with an impressive 78 points, they hold an eight-point lead over Pyramids FC, who have played three more games.
Throughout this season, the Cairo giants have participated in 30 matches out of the 34 scheduled, securing 24 wins and six draws. Remarkably, they have managed to maintain an unbeaten record since the league’s commencement in October 2022.
Koller is anticipated to make some changes in his team’s lineup, providing much-needed rest to his players. Defenders Mohamed Abdel-Moneim, Mohamed Hany, and Yasser Ibrahim face automatic bans due to card accumulation. Additionally, Hussein El-Shahat and Mahmoud “Kahraba” Abdel-Moneim might be placed on the bench after their crucial contributions in the match against Zamalek just two days ago.
Meanwhile, Arab Contractors currently hold the sixth position in the table with 44 points, having played 33 games, with one final game remaining in the season.
Earlier in March, Ahly managed to secure a 2-1 victory against Arab Contractors in their home game.
