Al Ahly take on the visitors Haras El Hodood in the round 33 match of Egyptian Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, July 19th at Al Salam Stadium (Cairo).
Al-Ahly Cairo are the most prestigious and successful club in Egypt, unrivaled in the current season. In the league, the team has played 31 matches, winning 25 times, sharing points in six matches, and having a clean sheet in the defeats column, with a goal difference of 62-9. Impressive, isn't it? Even more impressive is Al-Ahly's 11-point lead over their main competitor in the table, considering that Pyramids have played two more matches. Heading into the match against the league's worst team, the hosts are on a four-match winning streak in the league, with a total score of 11-2. There is hardly any doubt about another victory for Al-Ahly.

However, there are huge doubts even about Haras El Hodood scoring a single goal. The team has long been firmly rooted at the bottom of the league table and has already been relegated to the second division well before the finish. Even considering that the relaxed team unexpectedly conceded goals towards the end of the championship, Haras' goal-scoring statistics are very weak on average - only 20 goals in 33 rounds. Quite recently, at the end of June, this team suffered a 0-3 defeat against Al-Ahly on their home ground.
Moreover, the favorite has been winning against the opponent without conceding a goal for five consecutive matches. There are no reasons or arguments to suggest that this trend will suddenly be disrupted during their next encounter. The strongest club in the country is hosting the worst team in the league. I don't know how many goals Al-Ahly will score in the end; it will depend on the hosts' mood. However, there is no expectation of goals from the visitors. The prediction is a clean sheet victory for Al-Ahly.
Prediction for the match: Al Ahly to win with a clean sheet.
