Al Ahly’s football first team is set to face Zamalek SC on Sunday at 9:30 PM in a postponed game from the fourth fixture of the Egyptian Premier League.

The Red Eagles will be looking forward to extending the club’s dominance in the Cairo derby; as Al Ahly managed to come out victorious 45 times from 120 games, draw taking place on 48 occasions, and Zamalek SC winning in 27 matches.

The current title holders will enter today’s match sitting in fourth place with a total of 27 points from 11 games.

Although our football first team played the least amount of games since the start of the season, yet the Red Eagles hold the record for the most goals scored, finding the net on 23 occasions.

On the other side, Zamalek SC, our arch-rivals, currently sit in first place with 33 points from 14 games.

In order to narrow the gap with Zamalek SC, an important victory for the Red Eagles will be necessary for today’s game; as it will help the team in their journey to winning Al Ahly’s sixth consecutive league title and the 43rd in the club’s history.

Therefore, Pitso Mosimane, Al Ahly’s head coach, was keen to hold several tactical sessions for the players ahead of the Cairo derby, where he highlighted various important details related to today’s encounter.

Finally, Sunday’s match is expected to witness several new appearances from our side, as the team currently has a lot of injuries due to Al Ahly’s overwhelmed schedule in the last period.
