Al Ahly head into their crucial showdown against Ceramica Cleopatra determined to tighten their hold on the Egyptian Premier League title race in Tuesday’s coronation group match at the Contractors’ Stadium.
The record champions currently top the table with 49 points and are keen to build on their strong momentum. Interim coach Emad El Nahhas is counting on key men Imam Ashour and Wissam Abu Ali to spearhead the Reds’ attack, as the squad continues to improve despite a few lapses at the back.
Ceramica Cleopatra, sitting sixth with 31 points under coach Ali Maher, will look to stretch their three-game winning streak. The team’s hopes rest on Mahmoud Abdelhafeez, Ahmed Belhaj, Fakhri Lakay, and Mohamed Reda to disrupt Al Ahly’s rhythm.
Elsewhere, Zamalek face a tough test against Pyramids at Cairo Stadium. Coach Ayman Al-Ramadi’s side is seeking a return to form after three straight draws. Injury-hit Pyramids hope to recover key players while depending on Ibrahim Adel and Feston Mayele to spark a turnaround.
