The Master of the City's continued their winless run with a share of the spoils against Haras El Hodood. It was an open game, as both sides have nothing else to play for this season. Haras El Hodood scored first before Mabululu responded twice and a goal from the home side to ensure points were split in the 99th minute. That’s their eighth game without a breakthrough and four without a goal. Al Ittihad have been unlucky with fixtures as they have played four of the strongest sides in the division in recent games. Al Ittihad have picked up two points from a combined fifteen and are out of the top-four race with fourteen points below Zamalek in the fourth spot.

Al Ittihad have won seven, drawn three, and lost four at home this season.

The Red Devils looked jaded for the first time in eleven games as they failed to score against a stubborn Future FC. Al Ahly returned to winning ways with just a goal against Ismaily. Regardless of their performance in their last two games, Al Ahly have been outstanding in the league this season and are the only side yet to taste defeat. Al Ahly have garnered eleven victories and a draw over their previous twelve games while keeping nine eleven clean sheets.

The Red Devils are on the verge of adding two more trophies to their cabinet. The Red Devils have picked up seventy-two points from a combined eighty-seven and have scored the most goals this season. Al Ahly have won eleven and drawn two away from home this season.

Over their previous twenty games, Al Ittihad have won twice while Al Ahly have recorded fourteen victories and four games ending in a draw. Al Ahly have struggled to get goals in their last two games because of how the teams were set up. It’s going to be a different ball game here as Al Ittihad have conceded more than a goal in two of their last three home games. We expect the visitors to win here and get more than a goal for 1.78.

Mabululu is the leading goal scorer this season with sixteen goals for Al Ittihad, and we expect home to get a goal here; bet on BTTS for 2.00.

This game won’t deprive us of goals; bet on a total of over 2.5 goals for 1.85.

Good luck!
