Al Ahly Benghazi vs Al Taawun Prediction: The home team will win with ease

In round one of the Libya Premier League, Al Ahly Benghazi will play Al Taawun in Group 2 at Martyrs of February Stadium. The two teams' last meetings saw the home team have a better result. Can Al Taawun pull off a win?

Al Ahly Benghazi

Al Ahly Benghazi will head into the new season hoping to get things right. This team pulled off a strong performance in the previous season, finishing second in the main season with 34 points from 18 matches. In the meantime, Al Ahly Benghazi could only finish second spot with 8 points from five games, scoring nine goals while conceding five in the Championship Group. In their recent games, Al Ahly Benghazi have failed to win any of their last three, losing one and drawing three. However, their games against Al Madina and Asswehly ended in 0-4 and 2-1 victories respectively. 

Al Taawun

Al Taawun will rely on hopes in this season opener, having struggled the previous year. In 18 matches played in the regular season, Al Taawun had 26 points and could not qualify for the championship group. However, this team scored 17 goals in those games while conceding 29. Heading into the new season, Al Taawun failed to win any of their last five matches, losing three, while settling for draws with Al Khadar and Al Murooj. 

Expert Betting Tips

Al Taawun's try will not be enough in this game, as I do not see them winning. While Al Ahly Benghazi have not had things easy in the past in this fixture, I feel this encounter will have a different outcome. Take the home team as the favourite to win, while Al Taawun fails to score. Also, while I feel the better attacking plays will come from the home side, a bet on them scoring twice is a good option.
