Pyramids vs Al Ahly Prediction: The hosts won’t lose back-to-back games

Ten days after a dramatic first-leg meeting, the stage is set for one of the most important games of the season as league leaders Pyramids face off against the defending champions Al Ahly at the 30 June Stadium on Monday. Following their (3-2) opening leg defeat, Pyramids can forget the league if they fail to secure the maximum points here. The pressure is on the hosts, who have never been in such situations since their existence.

For the first time this year, Pyramids bowed to a defeat as they were beaten by arch-rival Al Ahly. Pyramids, who had the chance to defend and at least secure a point, had a glitch at the back and were punished duly by their experienced opponent. The (3-2) defeat on the road ended their fourteen consecutive league victories. Krunoslav Jurcic's men have been at their best this season, heading here with two losses in twenty-eight matches. 

They have now scored more than a goal in seven consecutive league matches and are one of the most in-form sides in the division. Pyramids sit comfortably at the top of the table with five points above Al Ahly and have won ten of their last fourteen home games.

The Red Devils can’t stop winning as they triumphed over a solid Modern Future team. After a little scare in their recent league game, Emam Ashour and Percy Tau rose to the occasion to secure the maximum points for the Red Devils. The (1-2) comeback win will stand as one of their best performances this season. 

Al Ahly maintained their unbeaten run in the league, extending their winning run to twelve in all competitions. Al Ahly will be poised to add the Egyptian Premier League to their CAF Champions League, Super Cup, and Egypt Cup this season. The Red Devils have picked up sixty-three points from a combined seventy-five and have scored the most goals this season (59). Al Ahly have won nine and drawn twice on their ground this season. 

Expert Betting Tips

Over their twenty meetings, Al Ahly have won eleven while Pyramids have recorded six wins and three games ending in a tie. The Red Devils won the reverse leg as they capitalized on Pyramids' vulnerability at the back. It was an end-to-end game as both parties focused more on their attacking style.

This is a do-or-die encounter for the hosts, who have never won a major trophy since their promotion. Pyramids will invest all they have to see off the visitors who are used to games of this caliber. 

Al Ahly have been here before; they have quality players up front, and with the attacking trio of Emmam Ashour, Percy Tau, and Wessam Abou Ali, we expect an aggressive attacking approach from them. 

This is a must-win game for the hosts, and we expect them to at least secure a point.

This game will produce some exciting moments, and we anticipate more than two goals here for 1.87.

This game will end in a halftime stalemate for 2.17.

Good luck!
