The Red Devils are playing catch-up in the Egyptian Premier League. They have three matches in hand and sit just four points off the summit of the league table.

After a 2-1 league win at ENPPI, Al Ahly lost the CAF Champions League final 2-0 to Wydad Casablanca. A 1-0 home win against Al Masry Salloum in the Egyptian Cup proved coach Pitso Mosimane’s final match in charge.

Caretaker coach Samy Komsan then oversaw a 4-1 home win against El Sharqia Dokhan. Their last match brought a 2-2 home draw with rivals Zamalek having trailed 2-1.

Al Ahly Injuries & Team News

Coach Samy Komsan could hand a start to forward Salah Mohsen after his netted from the bench last time out. Winger Percy Tau could be dropped after a below-par outing against Zamalek.

Key midfielder Aliou Dieng has been carrying an injury and remains a doubt.

Ghazi El Mahalla Form

Ghazi El Mahalla sit in mid-table in the Egyptian Premier League. They have won just once in six matches and are now six points off the drop zone.

After a 3-0 loss at Al Ittihad, they drew 1-1 at Al Masry. A 1-0 home win against El Sharqia Dokhan preceded a 2-2 draw at ENPPI having led 2-1.

Last time out, they were beaten 1-0 at home by El Geish. That ended a six-match unbeaten run at home.

Coach Mostafa Abdo could ring the changes to his starting XI. El Mahalla made four half-time changes against El Geish and all of those subs could start.

The side has no major injuries to contend with.
