CAIRO: Ahly assistant coach Hossam Al-Badri believes that the next four league matches will be decisive to his side s quest for a fifth straight title.
The league leaders will face Arab Contractors Wednesday, before clashing with title contenders Petrojet, bitter rivals Ismaili and then Asyut Petroleum in the upcoming weeks.
I think the next four games will be crucial to our season. We will be very close to being champions if we got maximum points, Al-Badri told Ahly s official site.
It will not be easy because any team who plays against Ahly strives to get a point out of the game.
The upcoming match will be very difficult, Contractors are a good side who play fine football, but I am confident our players can deal with that.
The Red Devils are two points ahead of Petrojet on top of the Egyptian Premier League, which seems to be a bit different this term.
Ahly s arch-rivals Zamalek are way off competition this season, lying eighth in the league table, only three points above the relegation zone.
