Al Ahly vs Pyramids Prediction: A tough game that will end in both sides getting a goal apiece

The Red Devils will be hopeful of kicking off the new year with a victory as they lock horns with Pyramids at the WE Al Ahly Stadium on Monday. Both sides have struggled recently, but we believe this encounter won’t deprive us of our goals. 

Last five games: WDWDD

Having kicked off the season with six consecutive victories, Al Ahly have won just once in the last four. The Red Devils front men have failed to impress in recent weeks. Since their comfortable win against Al Ittihad at home, Al Ahly have scored four, conceded three and picked up six points out of a possible twelve. They settled for a (1-1) draw against Ceramica as Al Ahly returned from a goal down to secure a point. Before then, they managed just a shot on target against Smouha as it ended a share of the spoils.

Al Ahly won three and drew two in the last five home games.

The visitors have not had a smooth run to the season, with six wins, two draws and two defeats in the last ten. Pyramids have lost twice in the previous five games and failed to score in one of their last ten matches. Pyramids returned to winning ways in time for this crucial match, scoring three times to secure all the points.

Pyramids haven’t been consistent in the last five games, with a shocking defeat against El Dakhleya and a slim (1-0) loss to Zamalek. They sit in the fourth spot with four points behind the league leader.

Pyramids have won twice, lost two and drawn once in the last five matches.

It has been an even contest between both sides in the last sixteen meetings, with Al Ahly claiming seven wins to Pyramids five, while five games ended in a share of the spoils.

Al Ahly are yet to taste defeat in the last sixteen games in a competition but face a resilient opponent in Pyramids FC. Both sides won at home against each other last season; however, this game is dicey and could go both ways. Pyramids have only failed to score in one out of their previous ten games, and we are confident the home side won't stop them as they have been struggling defensively in recent weeks. We expect both sides to get a goal each for 1.81.

Since both sides have been vulnerable in most of their games, we expect an open game here; bet on a total of over 2.5 goals for 1.93.

Regardless of what the Pyramids do here, Al Ahly should be able to claim all the points for 1.90.

Good luck!
