1st position in the Premier League table for Al Ahly so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 7th-placed Smouha visits Cairo International Stadium.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a CAF Champions League match only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Mamelodi Sundowns.
Al Ahly form and stats
This stadium, Cairo International Stadium, has been a fortress for Al Ahly in the Premier League so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 8-0-0. Al Ahly haven’t lost a league-game in 18 attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Etoile du Sahel, 102 days ago.
Al Ahly are confident in defense, having played 217 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
Al Ahly manager R. Weiler and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Mamelodi Sundowns in the CAF Champions League. Before that, Al Ahly had a home game versus Mamelodi Sundowns which ended with a victory 2-0.
It would be a shock if the hosts fail to win this game. Let's see how Al Ahly have performed as huge favourites like they are today: 25 games found in the database showing 18 Al Ahly wins, five draws and two defeats.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as ENPPI are coming to town in three days.
With more than three goals on average, the attacking play of Al Ahly is on fire here. A stunning 25 from 8 league matches.

Smouha form and stats
The visitors are W1-D7-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League.
It's the second away game in a row for Smouha, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Masr (placed 18th) in the Premier League last time out. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Misr Lel Makasa.
Nobody expects Smouha to collect anything from a game like this. The team has been David versus Goliath nine times before, with the overall statistics of won four, draw two and lost three. When defeated, two matches have been lost by two or more goals.
The visitors have scored 8 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's not easy to score on Smouha as they have only conceded 8 goals from these away games.
