Defending Egyptian Premier League champions Zamalek will be facing a visiting Al Ahly side that is determined to wrestle the title of top team in Egypt back from their rivals in their titanic clash on Friday. Ahly will feature several new signings in the form of South African forward Percy Tau and Mozambican winger Luis Miquissone and are hopeful that the pace of their acquisitions can cause the Zamalek defense issues. Zamalek, meanwhile, will be counting on a squad that has mostly been held together since last season with a couple of players returning to the side after successful loans last season to provide the reinforcements.
