Having collected maximum points in their opening Group C matches, both teams will be looking to get a win in this encounter, not only to take a three-point lead but to also increase their chances of reaching the next round of the competition.Pirates earned a hard-fought 2-1 away victory against CR Belouizdad, while Al-Ahly hammered Stade d’Abidjan 4-2. As a result, the Red Devils currently lead the group standings on goal difference.
“We are going to be tested at a very high level and we will face the week with a good attitude, and motivation, to offer a good performance on Saturday here against Al-Ahly.“Having those days with the possibility to rest, I think it’s giving an extra to make sure that there are no excuses, that on Saturday we can be at the level the competition requires and the questions the opponent will ask,” said the Spaniard.
