Al Masry vs Black Bulls Prediction: The Green Eagles pose more of a threat than their opponent

With the hope of cementing the second spot on the log, Al Masry must defeat Mozambique-based Black Bull at the New Suez Stadium on Sunday. The ball is now in the home side’s court after coming off with a point in Nigeria last week. A point won’t be enough for the guests and winning on this ground will be one of the most shocking results in the competition ever. 

Al Masry (Egypt)

Last five games: WDLDD

The Green Eagles' momentum has dropped lately, heading here without a breakthrough in four group games. They settled for a share of the spoils against Enyimba Aba on the road and were denied the maximum points when goalkeeper Ozoemena saved from their spot-kick. It was a decent performance on the road against the West African team, and a point has given them the edge of securing second place on the log. This was after Al Masry were held on their home turf against the defending champions, failing to take advantage of their chances. Al Masry have picked up six points from a combined fifteen, as they sit in second place on the log. 

The Green Eagles will be keen to maintain their unbeaten run in front of their home supporters tomorrow. 

Black Bulls (Mozambique)

Last five games: LDWLL

Despite their first-half display, the Mozambique-based team were overwhelmed by the defending champions on their home turf. Black Bull depicted their inexperienced traits, which were exploited by Zamalek SC. The (3-1) home loss was their third in the group as they occupy the last spot on the standings. 

The Black and Blues side have conceded seven goals in their last two games and that might just be the end of the road for them. Black Bull have picked up four points from a combined fifteen, scoring six and conceding ten times. 

They are mathematically still in the race, but they’ll need more than just luck to pull a surprise stunt against the hosts tomorrow. 

Expert Betting Tips

The reverse leg was a good game from Black Bull, who had 61% of the ball and had two shots at goal of, which resulted in a (1-1) share of the spoils. It’s going to be an entirely different game in Egypt, as they’ll be playing against a well-organized opposition.

Al Masry can’t slow down on their home turf, and the maximum points aren’t negotiable against an uninspiring Black Bull side. I have a feeling the hosts will start strong and probably get a win before the break for 1.70 at (Betway).

I watched Black Bull against Enyimba Aba, and if they decide to go ahead with the same tactics against Al Masry, they might concede more than three goals; bet on a total of over 2.5 goals for 1.60 at (Bet365).

I expect the hosts to score in both halves for 1.93 at (Betway).

Good luck!
