Baladiyat El Mahalla vs Pyramids Prediction: League leaders can not drop points yet

New Suez Stadium will host the Egyptian Premier League encounter between Baladiyat El Mahalla and Pyramids. As favorites, Pyramids will look to take maximum points, while Baladiyat El Mahalla will look to return to winning ways. 

Baladiyat El Mahalla will head into this game following a defeat at the hands of El Gouna in the Egypt Cup. In a game that ended 1-1, with El Gouna leveling the scores just 9 minutes before regular time, Baladiyat El Mahalla's chances ended after Ahmed Reda lost from the spot in the shootout. Heading into this game, Baladiyat El Mahalla have just one win in recent encounters, defeating El Daklyeh 1-0 in round 24 of the Egyptian League fixtures. However, other recent encounters ended in defeats against Smouha, ZED, Al Ittihad, Al Ahly, Pharco, and El Gaish. 

Pyramids have been consistent in recent matches, and the league leaders have won 10 matches in a row. In fact, Pyramids have an unbeaten run of 14 matches, winning 11 and drawing 3. In their last encounter, Pyramids played Smouha in round 11 of the Egyptian Premier League, and this team secured a 3-0 win. In the 23 matches already played this season, Pyramids have accumulated 56 points from a possible 69, scoring 37 goals and conceding 14. 

Baladiyat El Mahalla have struggled too much, and this team does not look strong against tough sides. On the other hand, Pyramids have been solid and have consistently shown why they should be at the top of the standings. With the road team having things easy against each of their opponents, I do not see them being denied maximum points while they score at least two goals here.
