Al Ahly vs Mamelodi Sundowns Prediction: Both sides will get a goal apiece here

Two of the best teams in African Club football will lock horns at the WE Al-Ahly Stadium on Saturday. Al Ahly will host Mamelodi Sundowns in one of the most anticipated games of the group stage. Can the Brazilians do the double over the Red Devils again?

The Red Devils kicked off their champions league campaign with a disappointing performance on the road as they were beaten by Al Hilal. That was one of their worst performances this season, as they fired just four shots and failed to hit the target once. It was so easy for the home side, who could have scored twice but missed from the spot; however, Makabi Lilepo's goal was enough to hand the Sundanese their first victory of the tournament.

Al Ahly are the most successful team in the history of the tournament, having won it ten times. After winning the trophy back to back, they failed in their third attempt when they were beaten by Wydad Casablanca in the final.

The Egyptian heavyweight have been playing amazing football since the beginning of the season and are unbeaten in the league.

The Brazilians are the current best side in Africa; their style of play can be compared to that of Manchester City. Mamelodi Sundowns have won their first two games as they sit at the top of the log. They have also scored four while conceding once and sit three points ahead at the top of the log.

They won this competition in 2016, becoming the second South African team to be crowned champions.

The Brazilians are doing pretty well in the league this season with fifty-five points from a possible sixty-one and are on a fourteen games unbeaten run.

In this African derby since 2007, Al Ahly have recorded four wins while Mamelodi Sundowns have won three times with three games ending in a share of the spoils. This game can go both ways; however, we are certain it won’t be cagey. Bet on BTTS for 1.91.

Al Ahly are still the favourite here, considering they play at home; bet on a home win or draw and over 1.5 goals.

Mamelodi Sundowns are a great attacking side, and we are optimistic the home side will definitely get a goal here. We expect an open game here; bet on BTTS, and anyone win for 3.20.

Good luck!
