The five-time Egyptian champions will be up against Coton in the competition's final first leg game in Cairo on November 2nd, and Jose stressed that playing at home doesn’t guarantee a win.
"When we play at the Cairo Stadium my players are always under pressure from our supporters," the Portuguese coach was quoted as saying by cafonline.com on Thursday.
"Away from home when we're not under pressure, we perform well. We put on a good display when forcing a goalless draw against Enyimba in Aba despite playing on a terrible pitch."
Despite admitting that Sunday's home game will not be easy, Jose said that he's got total confidence in his players' abilities.
"We will do our best to win the first leg in Cairo to make our task of overcoming them easier.
"Ahli have the best footballers in Africa so we should go for a win whenever and wherever we play."
It is worth mentioning that Ahli will be playing their fourth successive Champions League final.
