Maghreb Tetouan coach Sergio Lobera played down all opinions making his side as favorite to go through the Champions League quarters at the expense of Cairo giants Ahly, insiting a positive result in Satuarday's clash should not be taken for granted
"Any club has its ups and downs, but Ahly will rise up again and I’m afraid it could be against us," the Spanish manager of Tetouan Sergio Lobera told reporters on Thursday.
Ahly will host Maghreb Tetouan on Saturday in Cairo in the second-leg of the Champiions League round of 16 and they have not chance but to overturn their first-leg 1-0 loss to remain in the continental competition.
The Egyptian champions are troubled domestically as they are about to lose the bid for their 38th Egyptian Premier League trophy, as they are now ranked third in the table after a poor run, 11 points behind archrivals Zamalek, who are in the driving seat.
