Pyramids FC vs Al Ahly prediction 22.07.2024

• Competition: Egyptian Premier League
• Date: Monday, 22nd July, 2024
• Kickoff: 19:00 UK / 20:00 CEST
• Venue: 30 June Stadium (Cairo)

On Monday evening, we have the exciting opportunity to watch a game between city rivals Pyramids FC and Al Ahly, a match that could potentially determine the winner of the Egyptian Premier League.

Although Pyramids FC were founded just 16 years ago, they have rapidly ascended to become one of Egypt's top teams. In recent seasons, they were constantly third or second in the league and were close to winning the domestic cup and even the Conference Cup. However, they are still without a title, and this might be their year. In the previous round, they already faced Al Ahly and lost 3:2 at Al Salam Stadium. Now, Al Ahly are only five points behind and with three played games fewer. So, Pyramids FC are under pressure to win and gain some separation.

Al Ahly are the greatest club in Egypt and Africa. Last year, they achieved an impressive quadruple, winning the CAF Champions League, the domestic league, the domestic cup, and the Super Cup. They are on track for another fantastic season, having already secured the CAF Champions League and performing strongly in other competitions. They are on a fantastic 12-game winning streak and have every reason to be optimistic about the next game against Pyramids FC.

Pyramids FC vs Al Ahly pick: Over 2.5 goals

These teams met just about ten days ago in a thrilling match that saw Al Ahly secure a 3:2 victory in a game that could have gone either way. Despite both teams having dominant defenses in the Premier League, it was clear that neither could stop the other's potent offense. Every error was punished by the opposing side, and that is something that cannot change overnight.

At home, Pyramids FC have been in excellent form, winning seven games in a row and scoring 18 goals - 2.6 per game. Meanwhile, Al Ahly are in even better form, having won 12 consecutive games and scoring at least two goals in nine of those victories.

Additionally, Al Ahly's outstanding offense makes them the best team in the league for over 2.5 goals bets, with 76% of their Premier League matches finishing with at least three goals.

Given the previous head-to-head encounter and the impressive offensive potential of both teams, an over 2.5 goals bet should be the best option for this Premier League derby.
