National Bank of Egypt vs Al Ahly Prediction: League title chase continues for Al Ahly

National Bank of Egypt and Al Ahly are set to face each other at Cairo International Stadium in this Egyptian Premier League Round 15 clash. Without a doubt, Al Ahly enters the game as the favorites, while National Bank of Egypt is considered the underdogs in this encounter.

National Bank of Egypt will be eager to bounce back from their recent 2-1 defeat in the Premier League against Pharco in their last outing. In their last six games, National Bank of Egypt has scored a total of 8 goals, while conceding 5 at the other end. Interestingly, they have not suffered a defeat in their last 2 home league matches leading into this upcoming game.

Al Ahly enters the upcoming game on the back of a convincing 5-1 victory over Baladiyat El-Mahalla in their latest Premier League fixture. The goal scorers for Al Ahly in that match were Wessam Abou Ali (5', 49'), Karim Fouad (14'), Reda Slim (41'), and Anthony Modeste (73'). Indicating a penchant for high-scoring encounters, Al Ahly has witnessed a total of 20 goals in their last six games, averaging 3.33 goals per match. Their opponents managed to score 7 of these goals.

In the league standings, Al Ahly has participated in seven games, accumulating 17 points out of a possible 21, placing them in the 10th position.

The visiting team is currently the top-performing squad in this league, and regardless of the National Bank of Egypt's prowess, I don't foresee them putting up much resistance. Consequently, in a match where I anticipate Al Ahly's dominance on both ends, particularly in the attack, I am supporting them to secure a victory with a margin of at least two goals.
