Ahli 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 on 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 Ahli's official site. "It will not be easy because any team who play against Ahli strive 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 seem to be a bit different this term. Ahli's arch-rivals Zamalek are way off competition this season, lying eighth in the league table, only three points above the relegation zone.
