Al Masry vs Al Ahly Prediction: The Red Devils are the closest to securing all the points

The unbeaten Al Masry will square off against the Red Devils at the Borg El Arab Stadium on Thursday. Both sides have been firing from all cylinders this season, and we expect nothing other than a cagey game, as the guests have settled for less than two goals in six consecutive away league matches. 

Al Masry

Last five games: WDWWD

The Green Eagles failed in their attempt to assume the top spot after their negative stalemate against Haras El Hodood on the road. In a game where they created three big chances and missed every single one of them, Al Masry were extremely poor. They were unable to build on their slim (1-0) victory over Pyramids at home. 

Al Masry have picked up eleven points from a combined fifteen, scoring four goals without conceding. 

The Green Eagles have made some impressive moves in the transfer market, and despite replacing most of their players, they looked unchanged in recent games. 

Al Ahly (6th)

Last four games: WWDD

The Red Devils have been below par this season, winning just two of their last four league matches. More recently, they settled for a toothless stalemate against National Bank of Egypt on the road. This was after another (1-1) stalemate on their home turf against Al Ittihad. Al Ahly were unable to execute their tactics against a defensive opponent, firing just three shots at goal. Al Ahly have picked up eight points from a combined twelve in the league. Al Ahly have won once and drawn a game on the road this campaign.

Expert Betting Tips

Al Ahly have been performing woefully on the road this campaign across all competitions. The guests have drawn three consecutive games away from home, failing to score in all. 

The guests head here after their decent performance in the continental group game, scoring five against their opponents. They are sky-high in confidence and will be ready to face off against an unbeaten Al Masry super team. The Green Eagles are so good at defending, but they have a terrible record against the Red Devils and are the underdogs here.

I’ll back the guests to win or draw and score less than two goals because this meeting rarely produces goals. 

I also think Al Ahly might just find a way to break down a solid Al Masry, recording a slim (0-1 or 0-2) on the road.

This game might produce a halftime stalemate here for 1.98.

Good luck!
