A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Al Ahly fans are optimistic that the difference between 2nd and Aswan's 18th place in the table will show on the pitch.
- Al Ahly have the most scored goals (71) in Premier League
- Aswan have the the worst goal difference (-31) in Premier League
It's no vacation for neither Al Ahly nor Aswan as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Aswan have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Ahly are done competing for places this season; they will remain in 2nd place whatever happens now. Aswan are nearing the end of this stay in this division as relegation is now unavoidable.
