Al Mokawloon ended up with a 1-1 score facing Smouha in their previous fixture, a game to remember. The next task is this fierce Al Ahly side.

Insights:
  • Al Mokawloon have the most dropped points from leading position (16) in Premier League
  • Al Ahly have the most scored goals (51) in Premier League

This is a game between neighbours, usually meaning extra stress and importance.

It's no vacation for neither 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.

A fact for sports gamblers considering a bet on only one (or no) side scoring in this fixture: This club have played 5 consecutive league matches with just one or no side finding the net.
