Al Ahly and Zamalek will be on the pitch tonight at 8:30pm, although the outcome of the match will have no impact on the Egyptian Premier League’s title, as Al Ahly has already secured the championship five rounds before the end of the league matches after Pyramids lost to Ceramica Cleopatra on Monday. On the other hand, Zamalek needs another three points to secure third place and to create a berth with Future, the runner up team.
