Match preview

Haras El Hodoud has had an inconsistent start this season, with two wins, two draws, and two losses from six matches, placing them 13th in the league.

Haras comes into this match after a narrow loss to Smouha, where they missed a late penalty that could have changed the outcome.

Haras typically employs a defensive strategy and looks for quick counterattacks, which may serve them well against Al Ahly.
