Al Ahly vs Al Ittihad Prediction: The Red Devil are heads and shoulders above the guests

On Friday, the Red Devils will face off against Al Ittihad at the Al Salam Stadium. Al Ahly have been in fantastic form this season, and it will take a whole lot for the visitors to get a goal; talk more about securing a win here.

Al Ahly

The Red Devils secured their second win of the season, scoring just a goal against Zed SC on the road. Al Ahly were unable to execute their tactics against a defensive opponent, firing just a shot at a goal, which eventually resulted in a goal. This was after their emphatic (5-2) victory over Ceramica on their home turf. Al Ahly have picked up from where they stopped last season, winning the Egyptian Super Cup already.

Al Ahly haven't done much in the transfer market as they feel their squad is capable enough to challenge this season. 

Al Ahly lost just once on their home turf last season, which is a record they’ll be pleased to replicate this campaign. 

Al Ittihad

Nikodimos's men have won back-to-back league games following their poor finish in the previous season. Al Ittihad scored a goal each against Pharco and Haras El Hodood. They didn’t do much in front of goal but got the job done in both games. They fired three shots at goal each in both matches, with one of them resulting in goals. 

The new coach, Nikodimos, secured his second win as the manager of the team. Al Ittihad have managed one win in over six matches on the road. ;

Expert Betting Tips

Al Ahly have won sixteen, while Al Ittihad have won once and three games ending in a share of the spoils over their previous twenty meetings. Al Ahly have won nine consecutive matches against their guests, and I’m confident they’ll secure all the points here. On the other hand, Al Ittihad will be keen to break the jinx of twelve games without a win against Al Ahly.

The hosts are heads and shoulders above the guests, who can also be dangerous on the road. Al Ahly have all their players available for this encounter, and I’m trusting them to score before the break for 1.85.

We expect Al Ahly to also score in both halves for 2.15.

This game will produce more than two goals here for 1.88.

Good luck!
