Al Ahly head coach Hossam El-Badry says he knows what to expect from Zambian side Zanaco on Saturday evening.

The Egyptian giants will host Zanaco in the opening CAF Champions League Group D match at the Borg El Arab Stadium in Alexandria.

"I studied Zanaco's way of playing as I watched more videos for their latest games and I recognised how they play," El-Badry was quoted on Ahram Sports.

"We are ready for the game against Zanaco. Their tactics depend on the pace of their wingers as they have more talented players in the frontline.

"Zanaco is a good team; they managed to reach this stage of the African Champions League." El-Badry concluded.

Moroccan giants Raja Casablanca will take on Cameroonian side Coton Sport in the other Group D match on Saturday night.

The encounter will take place at the Stade Mohamed V in Casablanca.
