  • Al Ahly have drawn 2 of their last 3 matches.

Head to Head


Sundowns hold a 5-4 advantage over Al Ahly across 15 previous meetings with six draws. 

The clubs met last week in the first leg as it finished 0-0 in South Africa.

Al Ahly Form & Team News


Al Ahly have won just two of their last eight matches in all competitions. They drew the first leg last week and will expect to progress in Cairo in this second leg. 

After three domestic losses, they beat Al-Hilal Omdurman 1-0 in the CAF quarter-final first leg. The Red Devils travelled to Mauritania 1-0 in the second leg to reach the semis. 

A 1-1 league draw at Pyramids was followed by a 1-0 home defeat to Pharco in the Egyptian League Cup. In last week’s first leg at Mamelodi Sundowns, they drew 0-0 with just 27% possession. 

Coach Marcel Koller switched to a 3-4-3 formation last week. He remains without two wingers in Karim Fouad and Reda Slim.

Two left backs in Yahia Attiyat Allah and Karim El Debes are out injured. Veteran Ali Maaloul is pushing for a return to boost options at fullback.

Al Ahly Predicted Lineup


El Shenawy; Dari, Rabia, Ibrahim; Hany, Attia, Reda, Al Aash; Tahir Mohamed, Gradisar, Ashour.

Mamelodi Sundowns Form & Team News


Sundowns have had two poor results in a row. They exited the Nedbank Cup and could only draw their first leg CAF semi-final last weekend. 

A 2-1 home loss to title rivals Orlando Pirates preceded a 1-0 Cup win over Sekhukhune United. They beat ES Tunis 1-0 on aggregate in the CAF quarter-final after a 1-0 home win and 0-0 away draw.

A shock 2-1 loss to Kaizer Chiefs saw an offside goal end their Nedbank Cup journey. In last week’s first leg vs Al Ahly, Downs had no shots on target in a 0-0 draw despite having 73% possession. 

Key playmaker Themba Zwane has returned from a long-term injury. Rivaldo Coetzee remains absent in midfield but right back Thapelo Morena is nearing a return. 

After last week’s toothless display, Iqraam Rayners and Arthur Sales are pushing for starts in the front three.

Mamelodi Sundowns Predicted Lineup


Williams; Mudau, Kekana, Lebusa, Modiba; Adams, Mokoena, Allende; Ribeiro, Rayners, Sales. 

Verdict

I see Sundowns avoiding defeat in Cairo with both teams on target in a draw.
