Ahly will be looking to reclaim Group A top spot for the first time in nine weeks when they face Arab Contractors in the Egyptian Premier League on Tuesday.
Match info:
Second-placed Ahly have been given a timely chance to move to the group’s summit after leaders Smouha were shockingly defeated 2-0 by rock bottom El-Entag El-Harby.
The African champions will also be looking to avenge their first league defeat of the season at the hands of Contractors when the Mountain Wolves emerged 2-1 winners back in January.
The league loss, which ended a four-match winning streak, had been particularly embarrassing for Ahly, who have not tasted defeat from their Cairo rivals since 2004.
