Pyramids vs Zamalek Prediction: We expect a commanding performance from the home side

Last season's runner-up, Pyramids, will host Zamalek at the 30 June Air Defence Stadium on Thursday. The White Knights will be hopeful of starting strong this campaign following their poor finish in the previous season. At the same time, Pyramids will strive to maintain their home unbeaten record.

Pyramids

The home side finished below Al Ahly last season, securing their highest points tally in the league. Pyramids picked up seventy-three points, scoring fifty-eight while conceding twenty-four times. Pyramids, who were knocked out of the CAF Confederation Cup quarter-finals, will be out to make their mark here. Pyramids head into this encounter on the back of a (0-0) share of the spoils on the road to APR.

Pyramids have signed some experienced players this season, and their arrival will give them the confidence to challenge Al Ahly for the title.

Zamalek

The White Knight had one of their worst seasons, finishing in the third spot on the log. Zamalek lost eight games last season, picking up sixty points from a combined ninety. Zamalek have failed to impress this season, failing to make it out of the ARAB Club Championship Cup and losing their opting game in the CAF Champions League.

The White Knights have a difficult hurdle to overcome when they clash with Pyramids tomorrow.

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous seventeen meetings, Zamalek have won ten while Pyramids have recorded three victories and four games ending in a share of the spoils. In the Egyptian League, Pyramids have managed just one win over Zamalek in their last fourteen matches. The home team might have spent the most money on players in the transfer market, making their team one of the most expensive sides in Africa. Pyramids are very strong on paper but are yet to try themselves against a top side. On the other hand, Zamalek are match fit, having participated in the ARAB Cup tournament and CAF Confederation Cup. The White Knights head here with a watery performance against a lowly-ranked side in the CAF Confederation Cup.

Pyramids stood their ground at home last season, failing to defile their home ground. We are confident they’ll maintain their record against the struggling Zamalek side. We are not sure this encounter will witness many goals as both sides will be careful not to concede first; bet on a total under 2.5 goals for 1.94.

We expect the home side to secure all the points here for 1.83.

It’s not certain the visitors will get a goal here; bet on BTTS No for 2.00.

Good luck!
