Al Mokawloon vs Baladiyet El Mahalla Prediction: The home side have enough quality to displace their opponent

Al Mokawloon will commence their Egypt Premier League journey with a matchup against Baladeyet El Mahalla at the Arab Contractors Stadium on Wednesday.

The home side wrapped up their season in 7th place on the log, picking up forty-five points from thirty-four matches. The home side shared the most spoils (17) last season. Al Mokawloon were more impressive on the road than at home as they managed to win just four of their seventeen games on their ground.

A Mokawloon will be without their highest goalscorer, John Okoli, who signed for a Libya-based side; however, they have replaced him with Mahmoud Wadi of Pyramids.

The visitors won the Egyptian League 2 Group C last season, picking up fifty-seven points from a possible ninety. Baladiyet El Mahalla returned to the premier league after being relegated in 2012. They’ve once played in the CAF Champions League, and we are confident Baladeyet El Mahalla will perform well in the league this season.

Al Mokawloon were extremely poor at home last season but won their first two games on their ground. They are a draw marchant after sharing the spoils seventeen times in the previous season. Al Mokawloon have a new set of players that I believe can get the result against the newcomer here; bet on a home win for 2.65.

Both sides might settle for a halftime draw here for 1.79.

Al Mokawloon are definitely our favorite, but to be on the safe side; bet on a home win or draw and under 2.5 goals for 2.05.

Good luck!
