Al Ittihad vs Pyramids Prediction: The visitors are the favourite to advance to the next round

Al Ittihad will square off with Pyramids at the Alexandria Stadium on Monday. Since their defeat against Al Ahly in the Super Cup final, Pyramids have won seven consecutive games.

The Master of the City's continued their winless run with a toothless draw against the National Bank of Egypt. Al Ittihad have now failed to win any of their last five games. Al Ittihad won’t be fighting for relegation this season, having gone thirty-one games with forty-one points. Al Ittihad have picked up four points from a combined fifteen and are out of the race for a top-four with twelve points below Zamalek in the fourth spot.

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

Pyramid have now won seven games in a row, with their most recent victory against Pharco on the road. Pyramids broke the deadlock after sixty-one minutes of play. The home side have picked up fifteen points from a possible fifteen. Pyramids sit at the top of the log with two points ahead of Al Ahly, who has six outstanding games. Pyramids have won eight, drawn four, and lost four away from home this season.

Over their last sixteen meetings, Pyramids have won eight while Al Ittihad have recorded five wins and three games ending in a deadlock. Pyramids' only hope of laying their hands on a trophy is to win the Egypt Cup. They have a terrific team that can compete against any top African side. Al Ittihad have struggled in recent encounters and can’t see them challenging the visitors; bet on an away win for 1.57.

We also expect both sides to get a goal apiece here for 2.01.

It won’t be a smooth sail, but we Pyramids to win (1-2) for 7.20.

Good luck!
