John Toshack’s Wydad Casablanca are in Cairo with a mission to heap more misery on Martin Jol and Al Alhy in what promises to be a feisty clash of North Africa’s finest clubs.

The Egyptians have not had a good campaign in the CAF Champions League suffering two defeats in both of their opening games in Group A.

A defeat in Ndola at the hands of Zesco United and at home against Asec Mimosas has condemned the record eight time Champions League holders to an undesirable bottom spot.

Al Ahly have their work cut out against an inform Wydad Casablanca of Morocco who have won their opening two games giving them a commanding lead with 6 points.

Martin Jol will have to summon his tactical knowledge and field players that can win him all the three points to steer their qualification to the next round back on track.

Players like Ahmed Fathi, Ahmed Hegazy, Rami Rabia, Hossam Ashour,  skipper Hossam Ghaly and John Antwi must step up and deliver the desired victory.

Meanwhile Wydad will look to its key players Walid El Karti, Ibrahima Sory Keita, and Ismail El Haddad.

The match will kick off at 19:30 CAT
