Al Ahly take on the visitors Cotonsport at “Cairo International Stadium” in the round six of the CAF Champions League’s Group stage. The game will be played in Cairo on Saturday, July 8th.
Al Ahly have been failing to win since the 16th of June getting one defeat and three draws in recent encounters. That unlucky streak didn’t preclude Maarten Jol’s team from becoming the champion of the Egyptian Premier League. Al Ahly are unreachable for the opponents in the Egyptian elite division with 81 points earned and 60-14 goal difference after 33 matchdays. Concerning the CAF Champions League, the side settles on the third position in Group D with eight points taken and 4-2 goal difference being three and one points behind the leaders. In 2017 Al Ahly were not broken in front of their supporters: “Red Devils” recorded nine victories and three draws in 12 home clashes.

Cotonsport share the fourth-seventh places in the standings of the Cameroonian Elite One with 29 points gained and 27-15 goal difference after 18 gameweeks. The Cameroonians demonstrate mediocre results in the CAF Champions League: the side lost all five battles with 1:9 aggregated score. In 13 matches on the road “Les Cotonniers” managed to get only three triumphs, five draws and five losses.
Al Ahly and Cotonsport have met seven times already since 2008 resulting in three draws and four wins of the Egyptians. Taking into consideration the teams’ results in this season, plus their head-to-heads history as well as the clash value for the hosting side alongside with no tournament goals left for the Cameroonians, I presume that the Egyptians will get a victory this time as well.
Prediction for the match: Al Ahly to win with -1.0 Asian handicap.
