Saint George vs Al Ahly Prediction: The Red Devils will get a win before the break

On Sunday, Saint George will host defending champions Al Ahly at the Cairo International Stadium. The Horsemen are aware they are out of the competition the moment they were paired with Al Ahly, but we expect them to at least fight here.

Saint George (Ethiopia)

The Horsemen have now won the Ethiopian League back-to-back. Last season, they were lucky to have triumphed after fighting tooth and nail with Bahir. Saint George won it with a four-point margin, scoring fifty-four times while conceding twenty-one goals.

Saint George have had a terrible run in this campaign as they have managed just a group stage finish since their first appearance in this competition in 1997.

Al Ahly (Egypt)

The Red Devils had a great season, winning the CAF Champions League, Egypt Premier League, Egypt Cup, and Egypt Super Cup. Marcel Koller has been up and running since arriving from Basel last year. The Red Devils defeated the CAF Champions League holder, Wydad Casablanca in a two-legged final to secure the title.

The Red Devils are literally the best team in Africa, and despite their success last season, they have added top qualities to their squad. Al Ahly acquired the services of former Borussia Dortmund player Anthony Modeeste, Moroccan league best player Reda Slim, and Emam Ashour from Midtjylland, to mention a few.

Expert Betting Tips

Al Ahly come into this encounter as the favorite, as the game will be played in Egypt. The Red Devils, who head following their (4-0) victory over Al Masry in the league, will be too strong for the visitors. On the contrary, Saint George have played just two games this season in the CAF Champions League, winning both legs against an average side. Al Ahly are our favorite pick here, and we expect them to get a win before the break for 1.69.

We might even see two goals before the break here for 2.62.

Bet on the correct score of (0-4) for 15.00.

Good luck!
