National Bank of Egypt vs Pyramids Prediction: We expect a fierce encounter with both sides getting a goal apiece

National Bank of Egypt will square off with Pyramids in their first-ever quarterfinals at the Cairo International Stadium on Monday. Pyramids are two-time runners-up, while the home side are yet to appear in the final.

The home side had a slow start in the league but have been fantastic in recent games. They began this competition with a slim (3-2) victory over division two side Shoban Moslemen. National Bank of Egypt advanced to this round after knocking out El Gaish on penalties. National Bank of Egypt have been unlucky with their fixtures recently as they come into this game following their (0-3) defeat against the unstoppable Al Ahly. Before then, they were unbeaten in their previous eleven games. The home side have been a force in recent weeks, and we expect them to fight here.

Pyramid have now won nine consecutive victories, with their most recent victory against a stubborn Smouha in a seven goals thriller. Pyramids scored five times against the visitors after being two goals down. Pyramids sit in second spot with a point behind Al Ahly, who has five outstanding games. Pyramids head here after knocking out Al Ittihad with their last kick of the game. They struggled to get goals in that encounter, but we expect them to come blazing against their opponent tomorrow.

Over their last seven games, Pyramids have won four while National Bank of Egypt have a win and two games ending in a draw. Their recent encounter ended in a (2-1) win for National Bank of Egypt, who played against a Pyramids side that just returned from the CAF Confederation Cup encounter away game. Since then, Pyramids have improved massively. National Bank of Egypt are not a regular side; they’re well-grounded and know how to score. Pyramids are the favourite here; however, we expect a fierce battle with both sides getting a goal apiece for 2.02.

We expect both sides to settle for a halftime draw here for 2.11.

Pyramids will be out for revenge here, and we can see them getting the victory.

Good luck!
