Al Ahly vs Al Ittihad Prediction & Betting Tips (7 May)

Promotion-chasing Al Ahly have been in tremendous form on their own patch so far this season, collecting 19 points from a possible 21 in the Premier League. Al Ittihad, on the other hand, have been struggling to adapt to life at a higher level, with a return of four defeats from seven trips doing little to enhance their survival prospects in a competitive second tier.

Having suffered a defeat in the first leg of this tie, Al Ittihad will have to chase the game, and it is worth noting that 11 of their previous 13 second-tier away matches have produced two goals or more. Given that 16 of the most recent 20 Al Ahly home fixtures at this level have also been of the over 2.5 goals variety, something similar is expected in this clash.

Witnessing goals at both ends has been pretty uncommon in recent Al Ahly home matches in the second tier, with just four of their last 20 contests being devoid of any clean sheets. Given that both teams have scored in only two of the ten away games played by Al Ittihad so far this season, it is hard to see that pattern changing here.
