African champions Al Ahly continued their run in the ongoing CAF Champions League but their league form has suffered due to fixture congestion with a disappointing scoreless draw against El Gaish at home during midweek Egyptian Premier League action. The games keep on coming for Ahly and a difficult road matchup arrives on Saturday against Ceramica Cleopatra, who defeated Pyramids FC during the week.
Ahram has a preview of Saturday’s clash as manager Pitso Mosimane looks for answers to his team’s woes up top. Hossam Hassan got a rare start against El Gaish but failed to find the back of the net, which will perhaps lead to a recall to the starting eleven for last season’s Egyptian Premier League top scorer Mohamed Sherif.
