Ahli dropped four points in the last two games, after losing to Police Union and drawing with ENPPI, and Youssef believes the Red Devils will have a strong will to win tonight's game.

"Ahli haven’t been doing well recently, but this only means that they will be striving to win the game," Youssef told FilGoal.com.

Mahalla enter the game without the injured defending duo of Morsi Abdul-Latif and Emad Osman, as well as midfielder Bassiouni Mahmoud who's away for pilgrimage.

"We have several key absentees, but I'm positive the replacements are capable of doing the job against Ahli," added Youssef.

Mahalla are currently ninth in the league table on 16 points from 12 games.
