Al Ahly vs Zed FC Prediction: The Red Devils won’t feature most of their key players for this dead-rubber fixture

Having secured their forty-fourth Egyptian Premier League title, the Red Devils will give some key players rest when they square off against Zed FC at the Cairo International Stadium. The hosts are still in the celebratory mood and might not really pay attention to this fixture. At the same time, the guests will be poised to take advantage of this opportunity.

The Red Devils created history, becoming the first team in the history of the competition to have won twenty consecutive league games. Al Ahly won the Premier League with three games to be played, adding to their collection of Egypt Cup, CAF Champions League, and Egyptian Super Cup. They left it late against a stubborn Smouha, scoring with the last kick of the game to maintain their momentum. 

The Red Devils have picked up eighty-one points from a combined ninety-one and have scored the most goals this season (71). Al Ahly have won twelve and drawn twice on their ground this season.

Magdy Abdel Aaty's men have now lost back-to-back games in the league, heading here with a slim (0-1) defeat on their ground. They were highly disappointed after a solid defensive shift for almost ninety minutes until Mohammed Atef scored for the guests in the 90th minute. The defeat came after their (2-1) loss on the road against Pyramids FC. 

The newly promoted team have done well for a team that got promoted this season, and Mustafa Ziko has been the main character, scoring eleven goals in total. The hosts have picked up forty-seven points from a possible ninety-one, scoring forty-four while conceding thirty-one. 

Zed FC have won seven, drawn five, and lost three in their last fifteen home games.

Al Ahly have won all their games against Zed FC in their previous three meetings. The Red Devils are the crowned champions, and we are not sure they’ll risk any of their key players for this dead rubber game. They have no records to keep or break and will probably take some breaks to prepare for the FIFA World Club Cup and CAF Champions League. At the same time, Zed FC have not been themselves lately and will be keen to take advantage of the hosts. 

This game will produce many goals, and we think over 2.5 goals will surface here.

We also expect both teams to settle for a share of the spoils here for 2.24.

We think the guests stand a better chance here; bet on an away win or draw and under 3.5 goals for 2.26.

Good luck!
