Al Ahly vs Pyramids FC Prediction: The Red Devil will maintain their decent run against their guests

The Al Salam Stadium Cairo will host one of the most anticipated games of the season, as Al Ahly face off against Pyramids FC on Sunday. Both teams have been involved in continental games lately and this game might come too early for them. Al Ahly, who happens to be the most successful in the continent, will be keen to maintain their bragging rights in this fixture. 

Al Ahly (2nd)

Last five games: WDWWD

The Red Devils struggled once again as they settled for a stalemate on the road against Pharco. Without a prolific number 9, Al Ahly were unable to convert their chances as their only goal came from a penalty kick. The (1-1) stalemate was a terrible result for the Red Devils, who, despite their woe, retained the second spot. 

The Red Devils presently sit at the top of the log, scoring fifteen and conceding five. 

Al Ahly remain unbeaten in the league this campaign, picking up nineteen points from a combined twenty-seven. 

Al Ahly have won three and drawn a game at home in the league this campaign. 

Player to watch (Emam Ashour): The tricky midfielder has been potent for his side this season. He’s the top-rated player in the CAF Champions League and the Egyptian Premier League so far. 

Pyramids FC (1st)

Last five games: DWWWW

Krunoslav Jurcic's men are back on their feet after their poor start to the season. Pyramids FC are on a seven-winning streak following their slim (0-1) victory over Zed FC on the road. After creating several opportunities, Pyramids FC found the back of the net minutes before the final whistle, all thanks to Fiston Mayele. 

Before then, Pyramids FC recorded an emphatic victory over Ghazl El Mahalla. Since their (1-0) loss against Al Masry, Pyramids FC have improved their game and are now unbeaten in five league matches. Pyramids have picked up twenty points from a combined twenty-seven, scoring fifteen and conceding five times. 

Pyramids have won three, lost once and drawn a game over their last five away league games. 

Player to watch (Ibrahim Abdel): The winger has been in fine form this campaign, even though his output hasn’t been convincing. The Getafe bound forward can cause Al Ahly lots of problems at the back. 

Interesting Facts

Al Ahly have scored three times in their previous three meetings at home in the league against Pyramids FC.

Expert Betting Tips

The Red Devils haven’t been convincing enough lately due to their lack of bite in front of goal, even though they are a side that will consistently create loads of chances against any side in the continent. To address their dry spell in front of goal, Al Ahly have acquired the services of Slovenia forward Nejc Gradisar for a fee of (£1M). It’s uncertain if the newly acquired forward will feature in this game; however, Al Ahly can’t afford to drop points against their direct rival here.

This is a tough game, and even though all fingers are pointing to a win for the hosts, Pyramids FC can’t be underestimated. 

Al Ahly are born to play games of this caliber and we expect a fight from them in this game. I think the hosts might likely win or draw and score more than once for 1.80 at (Betway).

This is an open encounter and I believe both teams stand a chance of finding the back of the net; bet on BTTS for 1.88 at (Bet365). 

I also think the hosts might actually secure all the points here, as they have more than enough quality to get the job done; bet on a home win for 2.15.

Good luck!
