The Al Mokawloon & Al Ahly head coaches Garib and Koller are both anxious about and looking forward to this important game in the top part of the Premier League table.

Insights:
  • Al Ahly have the most scored goals (58) in Premier League

Mokawloon are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Happy, happy days for Al Ahly who are already winners of the Premier League. This could affect their motivation.

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Al Mokawloon and Al Ahly.
