El Daklyeh vs Pyramids Prediction: Pyramids to return to winning ways here

In the Egyptian Premier League round of 16, El Daklyeh will host Pyramids at Al-Salam Stadium in Cairo. Pyramids will aim for a win to narrow the gap in the league standings, while El Daklyeh currently occupies the bottom spot. Below, you'll find a comprehensive match preview along with potential betting opportunities.

El Daklyeh enters this fixture on the back of a 0-0 draw in the Premier League against El Gaish. Unfortunately for the hosts, a closer look at their recent matches reveals a challenging run as they have been unable to secure a victory in their last five games. During this span, they suffered defeats against ENPPI and Zamalek, while also managing draws against Ceramica Cleopatra and Pharco. In these matches, El Daklyeh scored three goals but conceded five in return.

In their recent fixture, Pyramids played to a 1-1 draw in the Premier League against Pharco. Ibrahim Adel (53') was the sole scorer for Pyramids, while Amr Gamal (30') found the net for Pharco. However, Pyramids' form has been less than stellar in their last three matches, including a loss to Mamelodi Sundowns in the CAF Champions League and a draw against Nouadhibou. Over their six most recent matches, Pyramids managed to score a total of six goals, resulting in an average of one goal per game.

Both teams have been experiencing a run of poor performances, but considering the struggles of El Daklyeh at the bottom of the table, it seems unlikely that they would overcome a team like Pyramids. Pyramids, driven by their pursuit of a higher league position, league experience, and overall squad quality, are expected to have the upper hand. Therefore, I anticipate a 0-2 victory for the away team in this fixture.
