A quick look at the Premier League table suggests advantage Al Ahly when they travel to Al Mokawloon. But; let's play before the points are handed out!

Insights:
  • Al Mokawloon haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.
  • Al Ahly have the fewest conceded goals (16) in Premier League

It's no vacation for neither Al Mokawloon nor Al Ahly 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.

This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.

The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 7 wins, 2 draws and only 1 loss in the Premier League. Ahly love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.

Two travels in a row for Ahly, whose manager P. Mosimane could celebrate last time after the Premier League win against Smouha. As mentioned above, Al Ahly was the only team on the pitch versus Smouha in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.

A draw for Ahly before that, at their own venue hosting Pyramids FC (2-2).

Ahly has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 17 goals from 10 games. Ahly are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 5 away goals have been conceded so far.
