Al Ahly form and stats

Last season their CAF Champions League adventure ended in the quarter-finals against Mamelodi Sundowns.

As mentioned below, Al Ahly are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 3 Premier League games. This match is a CAF Champions League match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 5 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss in this competition. In general it's been a long time since Al Ahly tasted defeat here, as they have taken at least one point from their last ten home games. The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of five straight victories regardless of arena.

Al Ahly's last game was hosting Al Ittihad and winning 4-0. In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Ismaily.

As mentioned above, Al Ahly "killed" Al Ittihad in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

The manager R. Weiler will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Misr Lel Makasa in only four days.

Al Ahly are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here in their league games, having scored an impressive 9 goals in 3 matches. As for guarding their own goal, Al Ahly have only let in 0 goals at home.
