Al Ahly vs Medeama SC Prediction: We expect an exciting contest with total dominance from the hosts

On Saturday, Egyptian heavyweight Al Ahly will face off against Ghanaian colossus Medeama SC at the WE Al Ahly Stadium. The guests will play on the international stage for the first time in their history after winning the Ghanaian Premier League last season, while the hosts are the most successful side in this competition.

Al Ahly have been prevalent in the Egyptian Premier League, winning a record forty-three titles, and have also enjoyed success on the continental stage, winning the CAF Champions League ten times. Al Ahly head here after being knocked out by Mamelodi Sundowns in the AFL but quickly bounced back with two wins and a draw in their domestic league. 

Al Ahly are the present champions of the CAF Competition but must be careful against the visitors who can be very difficult at times. 

The Mauves and Yellows, who picked up sixty points from their thirty-four games last season, clinched their first-ever Premiership. Medeama SC head into this round following their (4-3) aggregate win over Horoya SC in the qualifier. Since then, they have won five and lost four games in the ongoing Ghana Premier League.

Even though Medeama SC released some of their key players, they’ve replaced them with top quality, and we expect a more consistent performance from them in this competition.

Al Ahly have been unstable in recent weeks but can’t afford to drop points on their ground. At the same time, Medeama SC might be carried away by the fact that they play against the best team in Africa, thereby losing balance during the game. The Red Devils will intimidate the newbies, and we are certain they’ll show them how it’s done in Egypt with a resounding victory here. We expect to see the host win before the break for 1.55.

We might get to see more than two goals here for 1.56.

The halftime might witness more than a goal for 2.21.

Good luck!
