Al Ahly Form & Team News

Al Ahly made light work of Saint George SC in the CAF Champions League, winning 7-0 on aggregate. A 3-0 Egypt Cup semi win against ENPPI followed.

After a 3-1 win against Ismaily in the Egyptian Premier League, Al Ahly drew 2-2 away at Simba in the African Football League quarter-final first leg.

A 1-1 home draw against Simba saw the Red Devils progress on away goals. On Sunday, they were beaten 1-0 in South Africa by Sundowns in the AFL semi-final first leg.

Coach Marcelo Koller won’t make many changes to his XI for this one.

Veteran French striker Anthony Modeste is set to be recalled to start as the number nine. Salah Mohsen could drop to the bench.

Al Ahly Predicted Lineup

El Shenawy; Hany, Rabia, Abdelmonem, Maaloul; Dieng, Attia, Slim; Tau, Modeste, Kafsha.

Mamelodi Sundowns Form & Team News

After winning 12 of their first 13 matches this term, the Brazilians had a slight dip. They lost the MTN8 final on penalties to Orlando Pirates after a 0-0 draw after extra time.

Another penalty defeated followed in the Carling Knockout Cup after a 2-2 draw at TS Galaxy with ten men. Sundowns then went to Angola and beat Petro de Luanda 2-0.

A 0-0 draw with ten men for 88 minutes against Petro de Luanda followed to progress on aggregate. That result saw them face Al Ahly on Sunday, winning 1-0 at home in the African Football League semi-final first leg.

Coach Rhulani Mokwena is expected to be without key forwards Peter Shalulile and Lucas Ribeiro. Gaston Sirino and Thapelo Maseko are expected to play up front.

Grant Kekana could once again play in central defence.

Mamelodi Sundowns Predicted Lineup

Williams; Mudau, Coetzee, Kekana, Boutouil; Allende, Mokoena, Modiba; Zwane; Maseko, Sirino.

Verdict

Al Ahly v Mamelodi Sundowns

I'm tipping Sundowns to make it seven matches unbeaten vs Al Ahly and to leave Egypt with a draw.
