Will Future Cup champion take advantage of Al-Ahly’s sagging in the Egyptian League?

Future champions of the first edition of the Egyptian League Cup will try to take advantage of Al-Ahly's stumble and get a positive result in an expected match in the Egyptian Premier League tomorrow, Tuesday.

Future, which includes many former Al-Ahly players, is in a state of euphoria after winning the first title one year before its founding, and will look to consolidate its position in the golden square in the Egyptian League.

Future, led by coach Ali Maher, the former Al-Ahly striker, is in fourth place with 39 points from 23 matches, and is six points behind Al-Ahly, the third in 45 matches.

In theory, Al-Ahly has a chance to top the league if it wins the two postponed matches, given that it is six points behind the leaders and defending champions Zamalek, who played 23 games, but suffers greatly on the field.

Future signed more than one player from Al-Ahly on loan, including captain Saad El-Din Samir and midfielder Karim Walid (Nedved), and the two players scored during the 5-1 victory over Ghazl El-Mahalla in the League Cup final.

Al-Ahly, who has regressed severely after losing the opportunity to win the African Champions League title for the third time in a row, has been suffering in the recent period and won once in the last four games, and has won only in three of the last ten matches in the league and presents modest levels in most cases.

South African coach Pitso Mosimane left last month, and Sami Kamis temporarily took over, before the Portuguese Ricardo Suarez was appointed less than two weeks ago, but he still needs time to make his mark.

Swaris barely knows the names of the Al-Ahly players, and his experience is limited to working in Portugal, so his quick adaptation in Egypt will be in doubt.

And Suaresh himself hopes that some of the injured players will return as soon as possible, such as Taher Mohamed Taher, South African Percy Tau and defender Yasser Ibrahim.

"The team is in a great moral and physical condition, and we are striving to present a big match against Al-Ahly, to confirm our worthiness in being in the golden square," said future coach Maher.

Zamalek will look to continue its positive results and achieve its third win in a row when it faces the Arab Contractors in the relegation zone, which has not achieved any victory in the last five matches.

Zamalek received a boost with the recovery of defender Mahmoud Alaa and midfielder Youssef Obama, and they will be able to play on Tuesday.

The second-placed Pyramids with 49 points from 23 matches will try to hold on to the hopes of competing for the title and achieving their fourth win in a row when they face sixth-placed Talaea El-Gaish.
