Pyramids vs Petrojet FC Prediction: The guests will survive a halftime defeat

After failing to win the league for the second consecutive season, Pyramids FC will try again this campaign as they kick off their new league journey when they face off against Petrojet FC at the 30 June Air Stadium on Friday. Can the newly promoted team pull a surprise stunt here?

Krunoslav Jurcic's men have been at their best lately, heading here with just two defeats in over thirty-five games. Pyramids, who finished second in the Egyptian Premier League, are currently playing in the CAF Champions League.

Pyramids have started this campaign well, eliminating APR in the qualifying CAF Champions League round and finishing third in the Egyptian Super Cup. Pyramids have been active in the transfer window, making a few statement signings, and they’ll be ready to go all out again this season against the main rival, Al Ahly. 

The division two-based team did pretty well last season after securing the league two title. Sayed Eid's men were unbeaten in the championship round, scoring thirty-four and conceding thirteen times. They were also eliminated from the Egyptian Cup by Pyramids in the round of 32. Petrojet have been consistent lately, and we expect them to do well this campaign. 

Their previous eight meetings have seen Pyramids FC with four wins and Petrojet with three victories, while a game ended in a tie. Pyramids FC are one of the best teams in the continent, and based on their display lately, they’ll run riot here.

Petrojet stand no chance against Pyramids as they'll need time to settle in their new environment, and we expect the hosts to secure a halftime victory here for 1.70.

We also think the guests might likely get a goal here; bet on BTTS for 2.79.

We anticipate more than two goals here for 1.87.

Good luck!
