Al Ahly coach Marcel Koller says the team are confident of getting a positive result against Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday afternoon.
The ten-time CAF Champions League are looking for their first away win over the Brazilians, as the two sides face off at Loftus Versfeld Stadium.

The two sides played to an entertaining 2-2 draw in Cairo a couple weeks ago, although Koller was not happy with the result.
The Al Ahly tactician feels the first fixture in Cairo proved that his side are able to go toe-to-toe with the South African champions.
"It will be a difficult game," Koller said, as per KingFut.
"I think the result of our first meeting [2-2 draw] was disappointing for me and my staff, and that's why we are motivated for tomorrow's game.
"But we showed that we were a strong match for them and we are confident we can get a positive result.
"All players are ready for the game, and we will talk about the formation and team selection after today's training session."
The Red Devils do not have good memories of this fixture, having failed to defeat Sundowns in their last five meetings on South African soil.
