Al -Ahly and Pyramids in the penultimate episode of the Egyptian League title struggle

Al -Ahly and Pyramids are playing the seventh stage of the last stage of the determination of the Egyptian Football League champion, amid a strong struggle and two points difference in the lead.

In the absence of Zamalek, who lost the opportunity to compete, Al -Ahly and Pyramids hope to stumble its opponent, as the first receives Al -Ahly Bank at Cairo Stadium on Saturday, while the second will be a guest at Petrojet at the Petrosport stadium.
Al -Ahly leads the standings with 52 points, two points behind Pyramids, and each remains a single match where Al -Ahly meets Farco and Pyramids with Ceramica Cleopatra on May 28 at the end of their league matches.
Al -Ahly hopes to keep the title for the third season in succession and 45 in its history, while Pyramids seeks to win his first title in its history.
While Zamalek is absent from playing in this round, the white team lost the hope of crowning the title after settling in third place with 41 points, and at the same time lost the opportunity to play in the African Champions League next season, to be absent from the championship that crowned its title five times for the third year in a row.

– A battlefield of risks –
Al -Ahly is fighting a risky battle when the Al -Ahly Bank receives the Cairo Stadium, and he knows that winning alone brings it closer to keeping the league title and saving its season, which witnessed the exit from the African Champions League semi -final and not participating in the Egypt Cup because of the withdrawal from it.
After achieving four consecutive victories at the hands of his temporary coach, Imad Al -Nahhas since the dismissal of Swiss Marcel Koler after losing the Champions League, the Red Team hopes to overcome the obstacle of the National Bank, which offers a wonderful season as it occupies fourth place with 37 points and hopes to qualify for the Confederation Cup (Confederation).
Al-Ahly fears the surprises of its guest, who imposed a tie negatively in the first round, as it tied with Zamalek 2-2 and defeated Pyramids 4-2 in the stage of identifying the champion, to confirm that it is the black horse for the league championship this season.
After she was absent from the previous two games due to the suspension, Al -Ahly fans returned to support the team that seeks to achieve a victory that brings him closer to the title.
Al -Nahhas also depends on the brilliance of his stars, Imam Ashour, Al -Maghrabi, Ashraf Bin Sharqi, and the Palestinian Wissam Abu Ali in recent matches.
While the team suffers from defensive absences due to the injuries that struck Muhammad Hani, Omar Kamal, Rami Rabia and the Moroccan Yahya Attia Allah, while the other Moroccan Ashraf Dari did not recover in a complete way from the injury as well.
“Our primary goal is to maintain the league title, regardless of the way to play. At this time of the season, I wait for each player to give his best,” Al -Nahhas said.
Al -Nahhas refused to comment on his future amid news of the closeness of the Spaniard Jose Rivero as a new coach for Al -Ahly, stressing that his focus only on settling the title.
For its part, the National Bank, led by its coach, Tariq Mustafa, relies on the brilliance of his attackers, especially the top scorer of the league, Osama Faisal and Togolese Yao Anwar, to achieve a positive result that brings him closer to participation for the first time in the club’s history.

– Adhere to hope –
Pyramids, in turn, adheres to the hope for crowning the title for the first time when he is a guest of Petrojet at the Petrosport Stadium in Cairo.
The Croatian Pyramids coach Croonuslavoric, Jurcic, hopes to continue his star Ibrahim Adel his brilliance after he scored the only winning goal against Zamalek in the last round.
“Winning the Egyptian League title is very difficult for the strength of the competition,” he said.
For his part, Petrojet, led by his coach, Mr. Eid Al -Makta, enters quiet nerves after he included staying in the competition that he returned this season, where the team occupies eighth place with 26 points.
As part of the champion’s identification phase, Al -Masry also meets with Ceramica Cleopatra at the new Suez Stadium, while Farco plays on Sunday with the border guards at the latter stadium in Alexandria.
