**Al Ahly rolls into this friendly looking for rhythm after a shaky stretch, while Fulham's winless streak means neither side can afford to look sloppy.** 🔥

The Red Devils have been hot and cold — thrashing Al Nasr but then losing consecutive games to Espérance. Fulham's pre-season has been equally messy (1W, 3L), though that win over Newcastle offers a sliver of hope heading into this one.

Key storylines:

- **Al Ahly's attacking depth** vs a Fulham back line still finding its feet; **Zizo** and **A. Bencharki** will probe early
- **Fulham's midfield press** with **S. Lukić** and **S. Berge** looking to disrupt possession and build momentum
- Friendly stakes but **N. Gradišar** up front for Al Ahly could exploit defensive gaps if given space

Expected lineups:

- **Al Ahly FC**: M. Shobeir, Y. Belammari, Y. Ibrahim, Y. Marei, M. Hany, M. Attia, A. Koka, A. Bencharki
- **Fulham**: B. Leno, A. Robinson, C. Bassey, J. Andersen, T. Castagne, S. Lukić, S. Berge, A. Iwobi

Prediction:

**2-1 Al Ahly.** The home side has enough creative juice to edge a patchy Fulham side still shaking off rust, but don't expect a classic 🏆
