Al Ahly will take on Pharco FC in the second round of the Egyptian Premier League at Cairo International Stadium on Friday, with kick-off scheduled for 21:00 local time (1900 GMT).
The defending champions hold a dominant record against Pharco FC, having won six of their previous eight meetings in the Egyptian Premier League, while the remaining two matches ended in draws.
The record 45-time champions, who are aiming for a fourth straight league title, are looking to rebound after a 2-2 draw with Modern Sport in their opening fixture on Saturday.
Head coach Jose Riveiro oversaw training this week, focusing initially on physical conditioning before shifting to tactical preparations ahead of Friday’s encounter.
