Ahly are finalising their preparations for the second leg of the African Champions League round of 16 Sunday against Tunisia's CA Bizertin.
The Egyptian champions were able to clinch a goalless draw away, but the team's striker El-Sayed Hamdy thinks their home mission won't be easy.
"Winning Bizertin at home won't be an easy mission at all," the 29-year-old Hamdy told the club's official website, adding "we are studying the team but they will not be an easy prey, since they will be determined to return home with a qualification ticket."
"The match will need extra effort as it's the last game before the groups round. The 0-0 draw is not reassuring at all."
Hamdy also commented on his bench warming during Smouha league game Tuesday.
"It doesn't bother me. All I am focusing on, personally, is to deliver a good performance when I appear."
The title-holders of both the domestic and continental championships are now leading the Egyptian Premier League Group A with 24 points, two ahead of runners-up ENPPI.
