Riveiro will be hoping to continue the positive momentum with the Red Devils when they face Ghazl El Malhalla in their third league game.
The ex-Orlando Pirates boss has gone unbeaten in the league so far with one draw and one win, and a win in tonight's game will be a welcome boost before the Red Giant faces Pyramids at the weekend.
Chances for a win are strongly in Riveiro's favour as his team sit eighth after two games played, while their opponents are currently last on the log with three points from three games, all goalless draws. A win would place the 44-time league champions at the top of the table.
According to Mobtada, Riveiro and his staff are aware of the challenges posed by Alaa Abdel Aal's side, and will be anticipating a strong defensive showing from his team.
However, Riveiro expressed his main concern for the upcoming clash, and it was to do with the condition of the pitch.
He was concerned that it would complicate his team's passing and wanted his team to increase its playing speed, particularly in attack.

Riveiro has also instructed his players to make the most of half-chances in front of goal to force the opponent to open up, making the match easier. He is aware of the task at hand to break down the Ghazl El Malhalla defence, who are one of three teams yet to concede a goal in the league this season.
