The season is still fairly new and the Premier League table has to be read with caution. So far Al Ahly find themselves in 2nd position and Al Ittihad are placed 10th.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
