Al Ahly vs El Dakhleya Prediction: The visitors won’t survive the first forty-five minutes

On Friday, the Red Devils will face off against El Dakhleya at the Cairo International Stadium. The visitors, who have managed just two wins since the start of the season, will likely sit back against the champions and hope they can capitalize on any of their errors, as they lack the quality to go toe to toe with the Red Devils. 

Al Ahly (3rd)

Last five games: LLLLL

The Red Devils are doing everything right to unseat Pyramids at the top of the log. The league leaders, who have now won eleven consecutive games, will fight with their last breath to secure the EPL title. Al Ahly head here with a scrappy performance against Al Ittihad as Kahraba saved the day when he found the back of the net in the 68th minute. 

Al Ahly have amassed thirty-nine points from a combined fifty-one and are ten points behind the league leaders. The Red Devils have won five and drawn two games at home in the league this season. 

El Dakhleya (18th)

Last five games: LDLWL

The guests have been below par this season, having twice since the start of the Premier League campaign. El Dakhleya head here with another defeat on the road as they were beaten by Smouha SC. The guests will definitely return to Division Two as they lack the manpower to survive in the league. They have amassed fifteen points from a combined seventy-five, scoring twelve and conceding thirty. 

El Dakhleya are having a difficult time in the league, but a win here could help boost their confidence. 

El Dakkada have drawn three and lost ten games on their ground this season. 

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous eighteen meetings, Al Ahly have won thirteen while El Dakhleya have won twice and three games ending in a stalemate. The Red Devils fought extensively in their recent game on the road as they reduced Pyramid's lead at the top of the log. They have now won six consecutive league games, and a defeat or a share of the spoils will see them fall below the league leaders after playing all their outstanding games. At the same time, the visitors were not really bad in their most recent game but they lack the strength to keep up their momentum during games.

The guests will play against a side who will be at their best on their ground. It’s going to be a long day for El Dakhleya, who have not won any game on the road this season; bet on a home halftime victory for 1.62.

We expect to see more than a goal before the break for 2.36.

The hosts will win and score more than two goals for 1.61.

Good luck!
