Al Ahly are expected to make changes to their starting lineup when they face Zed on Friday evening in the second round of the Egyptian Premier League, with Hussein Ammouta weighing adjustments in defense, midfield and attack.
The expected changes come as Al Ahly look to build on their strong start to the season. That gives the match against Zed added importance, not only because of the points at stake, but also because it may offer a clearer view of how Ammouta wants to shape the team early in the campaign.
Possible changes across the pitch
The lineup discussion is not limited to one area of the team. The expectation is that Ammouta could alter his selections in defense, midfield and attack, suggesting that Al Ahly may approach the match with a slightly different balance than they used in the first round.
One player whose recent contribution stands out is Sofiane Benjedida. In the first round against El Sharqia Enppi, he played an important role and created Al Ahly's winning goal. That kind of impact makes him a notable name to watch again as the club prepares for Zed in the Egyptian Premier League.
With the match coming on Friday evening, the key question is which players Hussein Ammouta will trust from the start. The early-season context means any changes could matter beyond this one game, especially if they reveal how Al Ahly plan to manage their squad and maintain momentum.
For now, the expectation is simple: Al Ahly may not line up exactly the same way they did in the opening round, and the adjustments could stretch across the full team.
