Most experts are most impressed by Al Ahly so far, with their 3rd position in the Premier League table and looking forward to facing Ceramica Cleopatra (who are in 12th).

Insights:
  • Al Ahly have the fewest conceded goals (21) in Premier League
  • Al Ahly have scored at least twice as many goals at home as Ceramica Cleopatra have scored away.

Al Ahly is in the 3rd league table position and will remain there regardless of what happens for the rest of the season. Cleopatra is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

It's no vacation for neither Al Ahly nor Ceramica Cleopatra 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.
