Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Ahly are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.

Preceding that game was the away victory against Zamalek with the score of 2-1.

Late heartbreak for Al Ahly in the Smouha match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Ahly manager P. Mosimane as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Al Masry.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Al Ahly have scored 6 goals in 5 league games away. The Al Ahly defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (1 goal in 5 games).
