Al Ahly vs Petrojet Prediction: The home team won’t hold back at halftime

The Egyptian Cup tournament enters the semi-finals stage as the most successful team in the tournament hosts its former division one counterpart at the Cairo International Stadium on Saturday. The winner of this competition will play in the CAF Confederation cup next season.

Al Ahly

The home teams’ unbeaten run ended after a disappointing result against Smouha; they must quickly adjust to seeing off a strong division two side.

They secured the quarter-finals ticket after a narrow (1-0) win against Elmasry Belsalom; Ahmed Abdelkader scored the only goal in that encounter.

They further progressed to the semifinals after a win against Pyramid, two goals in both halves for the home team and a goal from Pyramids secured the points for the Red Eagles.

Al Ahly must not keep their eggs in a basket as the race for the premier league this season will be intense, and they must now focus on this cup to at least lay their hands on silverware.

Petrojet

The division two-based team have done pretty well this season after securing the second spot in the league, after finishing behind El Dakhleya FC and must now focus on the tournament to win a trophy this season.

Although they have not been tested in this competition, their only formidable opponent was Future in the round of 16, which they won on (4-3) penalties.

They head into this match after defeating Wadi Degla FC, and they secured the ticket to the semifinals after (1-2) victory.

They are up against the best team in Africa and must up their game when they meet tomorrow.
