Head to Head

Al Ahly Form


Al Ahly fought hard at the FIFA Club World Cup recently. The Egyptians beat Al Duhail 1-0 before a 2-0 loss to Bayern Munich at the semi-final stage.

The African champions secured third place by beating South American champions Palmeiras on penalties. The match ended 0-0.

It was the 10th clean sheet in 13 games for Pitso Mosimane’s charges. Al Ahly return to Egypt having won their last 18 home matches in the CAF Champions League - an unbelievable record.

Al Merreikh Form


Al Merreikh are the current leaders of the Sudani Premier League after 5 victories and 4 draws in their opening 9 fixtures. 

The side from Sudan knocked out Enyimba in the CAF Champions League 1st Round, winning 3-0 on home soil before suffering a 2-1 defeat in Nigeria.

Al Merreikh have drawn 3 of their last 4 games in the Sudani Premier League.

The stats aren't in their favour as they travel to Egypt having lost 6 of their last 7 away fixtures in the CAF Champions League. They have also failed to score in 5 of their last 7 matches on the road in Africa.
