Al Ittihad vs Pyramids Prediction: The guests will get off to a flying start

On Monday, Al Ittihad will face off against Pyramids at the Borg El Arab Stadium. The hosts have been below par lately and head here without a win over their last eight games. At the same time, the visitors march here with thirteen consecutive victories in the league. This encounter promises to be intriguing as the guests can’t afford to drop points if they are to win the EPL title.

The Thagher's Leaders dropped to tenth place on the log after their recent stalemate against Al Ittihad away from home. They have now gone eight matches without a victory. More recently, Al Ittihad head here with a toothless stalemate against struggling El Gaish. 

Over their last eight league matches, Al Ittihad have scored just once from fourteen shots at goal. It’s a poor statistic from Al Ittihad, who have some decent players on their team. 

Tarek El Ashry has done a great job since his arrival, and maybe he’ll have to change his style if he wants to play continental football. 

Al Ittihad dropped to 10th on the log, twenty-seven points below the league leader, Pyramids. They have won four, drawn seven and lost three at home this season.

Krunoslav Jurcic's men have been at their best this season, heading here without a defeat in seventeen matches. More recently, they secured the maximum points against Smouha SC after the game was abandoned due to a power outage in the stadium. Pyramids maintained their undefeated record, scoring three while conceding three to amass all the points. 

Pyramids have now won thirteen consecutive matches, and all they care about is amassing three points regardless of what their opponent throws at them.

Pyramids are the most in-form side in the division, and they are back where they belong after their poor start to the season. Since the arrival of their Croatian coach, Pyramids have lost just once in twenty-three matches. Pyramids sit comfortably at the top of the table and have won eleven of their last thirteen away games. 

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous eighteen meetings, Al Itihad have won five while Pyramids have won ten and three matches ending in a tie. The hosts had a great start to the season but have lost their momentum, having scored once in their last eight games. Al Ittihad have nothing to fight for again this season, and they’ll most definitely feel relaxed here. At the same time, Pyramids are aiming for their first major trophy since joining the Premier League, and a defeat of stalemate here will cost them the title. 

The hosts are good at defending but barely score, so we expect to see a halftime victory for Pyramids here.

We also think this game will produce less than two goals for 1.74.

We expect to see more goals after the break for 2.20.

Good luck!
