Preview : El-Gaish vs Al-Ahly

CAIRO – 16 January 2018: Al-Ahly faces El-Gaish on Tuesday at 8 PM in the Egyptian Premier League at the Air Defense stadium.

Al-Ahly enters the game with high spirits after an amazing week, as they defeated Zamalek 3-0 at Cairo Derby on Monday and won the Egyptian Super Cup on Friday after defeating El-Masry 1-0.

Al-Ahly attacking midfielder, Abdallah el-Said failed to complete Al-Ahly's last training session and his participation in tonight's game is doubtable. Al-Ahly will start with Eslam Mohareb if Said is not fully recovered.

Al-Ahly depends on Walid Azarro to lead the attacking line as he is having a great time with the team after scoring Al-Ahly winning goal at the Super Cup.

Al-Ahly hope to return on top of the league table as they come in the second place with 39 points, two points behind the leaders, Ismaily. On the other hand, El-Gaish enters the game with 25 points at the 8th place.
