The coaching staffs of Al Ahly and Zamalek, led by Hussein Ammouta and Moataz Gamal, revealed their lineups ahead of the 133rd Cairo Derby set to take place this evening, with each coach presenting their strategy for the match.
The midfield area will see intense competition between the two sides, as each coach relies on the tools that allow them to dominate the midfield, as well as the right and left flanks, which will help control the pace of the game, with both coaches eager to impose their style of play from the outset.
Hussein Ammouta has relied on the trio of Marwan Attia, Akram Tawfik, and Imam Ashour in Al Ahly's midfield to impose his style and control the midfield area, as dominance in this zone will assist him in dictating the game against his opponent.
On the other hand, Moataz Gamal has opted for the trio of Mohamed Shahat, Ahmed Rabi, and Abdullah El-Said in Zamalek's midfield, as part of his strategy to control the rhythm of the match and dominate the midfield, whether by launching attacks on Al Ahly's defense or limiting the threat posed by the Red team on the White defense.
Al Ahly's lineup for the derby is as follows:
Goalkeeper: Mostafa Shobeir
Defense: Tawfik Mohamed, Yassin Marai, Ashraf Dari, Mohamed Hani
Midfield: Imam Ashour, Marwan Attia, Akram Tawfik
Attack: Ashraf Ben Sharqi, Zizo, Sofiane Ben Jeddou
