Al Ahly will be looking to bounce back from two disappointing results when they face Alexandria-based club Smouha in the Egyptian Premier League on Wednesday.
The Red Devils, who are eyeing a third consecutive league title, made a superb start to the season after chalking up eight wins in their first nine matches before a sudden slump in form saw them fail to win for two straight games.
They suffered a 3-2 defeat by last season’s runners-up Maqassa in an exciting affair before being held to a 1-1 draw by lowly Tanta, sparking talks of a mini crisis.
However, coach Hossam El-Badry said he was confident Ahly would be the eventual champions although he admitted his side must be more clinical in front of goal.
Smouha, who are seventh in the table with 19 points from 13 games, are struggling for consistency this term.
Should Ahly win, they will close to within two points of leaders Ismaily, who were held to a 1-1 draw by Talae El-Geish on Tuesday, and with the advantage of having two matches in hand.
