Struggling Al Masry will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Al Ahly in the upcoming league round. It’s 15th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
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 Masry and Al Ahly.

Marwan Mohsen scored in Al Ahly's previous match, the home game against El Gounah that ended 1-0. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Zamalek wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.
A heroic performance from Ahly in their game against El Gounah last time out. Things got complicated when A. Dieng was sent off in the 62nd minute with the match level. Despite the red card the team were able to pull off a 1-0 victory! World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager R. Weiler when Marwan Mohsen scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 87th minute. The end of the last match, against El Gounah, was very satisfying as Marwan Mohsen scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
Ahly have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 22 goals from 10 away matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (6 so far).
