On the contrary, Al Ahly have picked up 45 points in this season, sitting now on the first position in the Egyptian Premier League table. “Red Devils” participated in 18 fights, having taken 14 triumphs and a single failure in them. The side’s attack demonstrates perfect shape as it has managed to score 40 goals already, still, its defense also shows fabulous performance, having conceded 11 goals so far. The club played nine games on the road, resulting in six victories and two draws. In the latest away clashes Al Ahly have beaten El-Gaish 2:0, Zamalek 3:0 and Al Nasr 4:0.
Last time El Raja have managed to defeat Al Ahly in 2014 and in this season the current elite division leader celebrated 4:1 victory over the upcoming rival. The forthcoming head-to-head is also likely to result in the visitors’ triumph as the hosts are in a poor competitive form and will not be able to give a fight to the opponent.
Prediction for the match: Al Ahly to win with -1.0 Asian handicap.
