Al Ahly vs Mamelodi Sundowns Prediction: We expect an interesting contest with a goal apiece in both ends

Egyptian heavyweight Al Ahly will face off against South African colossus Mamelodi Sundowns at the Cairo International Stadium on Wednesday. Both teams have a score to settle after a much dominating performance from Sundowns in the reverse leg. The Red Devils will chase a goal deficit tomorrow in a very delicate match, and all indications suggest it’s a game over for them.

For the third consecutive game in this competition, Al Ahly looked weak and were totally outplayed by the Brazilians. The Red Devils, who benefited from the away goal rule to advance to this round, had just 33% of the ball, which was very unlike Al Ahly, who always dominated possession. A second-half goal from Maseko was all the hosts needed to secure the maximum points.

Al Ahly have been prevalent in the Egyptian Premier League, winning a record forty-three titles, and have also enjoyed success on the continental stage, winning the CAF Champions League ten times.

Al Ahly are the present champions of the CAF Competition but have not really been impressive in this competition.

The Brazilians National once again did what they know how to do best as they outclassed their reigning African Champions. Mamelodi Sundowns head into the fixture after knocking out Petro Luanda of Angola, and a goal was enough to give them the edge in this game.

In recent years, Mamelodi Sundowns have dominated the South African Premier Soccer League, winning multiple titles and establishing themselves as the top team in the country. They have also succeeded in continental competitions, winning the CAF Champions League in 2016.

Mamelodi Sundowns must win or draw here to stand a chance of progressing to the final.

When these two teams meet, it is always a closely contested match. However, the narrative has changed in recent games as Mamelodi Sundowns have recorded five victories while Ahly have won three times and three games ending in a share of the spoils. The reverse leg ended in a total humiliation for Al Ahly as the scores didn’t tell what really transpired in the game. Mamelodi Sundowns were not pressured as they played their game to the point where Al Ahly had just a goal on target. We are confident that the team that produced such a performance will remain in this competition, even though Al Ahly won’t bow without a fight. It’s going to be an end-to-end game, and we expect both teams to get a goal apiece here for 2.19.

Mamelodi Sundowns will advance to the final for 1.64.

The Brazilians have been the better side since this competition began, and coupled with their performance against Al Ahly, I expect this fixture to end in a draw for 3.79.

Good luck!
