Al Ahly will welcome Al Hilal Omdurman to the Cairo International Stadium for a matchday six fixture in Group A of the CAF Champions League on Sunday.
The two sides are currently locked in a battle for second place in the group behind Mamelodi Sundowns to secure progression to the knockout stage.
The home side come into the game on the back of a 3-1 away victory over Al Merreikh in Sudan two weeks ago. Percy Tau, Mohamed Sherif and Ahmed Abdelkeder were all among the goals for the defending champions.
The win saw them move three points clear in second spot, having garnered seven points from five matches played so far. Al Hilal are three points behind in third spot and need a win to extend their stay in the competition.
The Sudanese champions have not been in action since falling to a 4-2 defeat against Sundowns on home turf.
Al Ahly vs Al Hilal Omdurman Head-to-Head
Both sides have two wins apiece from seven previous matches, while three fixtures ended in a share of the spoils.
One of those draws came in their most recent meeting, a goalless stalemate on matchday two.
