The Cairo giants currently sit in second place in the league standings with 51 points, trailing Pyramids FC by 14 points, albeit with five games in hand.

Since their defeat to Zamalek in the Cairo derby back in mid-April, the Red Devils have been on an extraordinary run, notching up 10 consecutive wins.

However, Ahly's encounter with Dakhleya will present its challenges, as the bottom-placed team are desperate for points to avoid relegation.

Ahly enter the game on the back of a commanding 4-0 victory over Talae El-Gaish in a postponed match, displaying their dominance and intent to continue their winning ways.

Additionally, Taher Mohamed Taher is suspended, while South African winger Percy Tau could remain sidelined with an injury.

On the other hand, Dakhleya find themselves at the bottom of the league table with 19 points from 28 games.

They head into this fixture following a win over ZED FC and a draw against Ittihad of Alexandria, showing signs of resilience as they fight to avoid relegation.
