Moroccan coach Hossam El Moutawakel, the technical director of Al Ahly Club, has largely settled on the starting lineup he will field against Zed in the match that will bring them together in the second round of the Egyptian Premier League.
El Moutawakel aims to maintain the stability of the lineup, but with some adjustments, either at the left-back position or in the attacking line.
The Moroccan coach may give his compatriot Sofiane Benjedida the chance to lead the attack, after he assisted the winning goal in the first round against Sharqia Enppi.
Ali Mahmoud may feature in midfield, but in that case, El Moutawakel will rely on Ahmed Nabil Koka at left-back to secure the defense, at the expense of Karim Fawad.
Al Ahly's expected lineup against Zed
Al Ahly's expected lineup for the match against Zed is as follows:
Goalkeeper: Mostafa Shobir
Defense: Mohamed Hany, Yasser Ibrahim, Amr El Gazar, Karim Fawad
Midfield: Marwan Attia, Ahmed Nabil Koka (Ali Mahmoud), Ahmed Sayed "Zizo"
Attack: Mansour Bakkal, Ashraf Ben Sharqi, Sofiane Benjedida.
