Al Ahly vs Al Ittihad tips and predictions

Sheer class from Al Ahly?

Only dedicated Al Ahly fans will be interested in backing the favourites at such a short price. That said, there's little chance of any other result.

The hosts come into the match having put 10 wins under their belt from their last 14 games.

This home squad is enjoying some form at their own ground. Al Ahly have scored three or more goals in 9 of their recent 18 home matches and they've been strong under pressure. They've only conceded 7 goals in their last 18 games at home. If they can continue to put in commanding defensive performances they'll see this clash as an opportunity to keep another clean sheet.

Al Ittihad have been vulnerable when they've lost their shape. They've conceded at least once in all of their last 6 matches. It could be the reason they have to take an L.

These sides are not unfamiliar foes. Al Ahly have won all of the last 7 fixtures between the two sides. With regard to previous meetings the head-to-head stats provide reasons to believe in the home win.

It's possible the game ends with at least one clean sheet due to the undeniable favouritism for Al Ahly. If it plays out as many expect the No BTTS could be the bet to take from this market.
