National Bank Egypt take on the visitors Al Ahly in the round 32 of Egyptian Premier League. The match will be played on Thursday, June 29th at Petrosport Stadium (Cairo).
National Bank have noticeably improved towards the end of the season and has been producing very good results. That's why I'm hesitant to predict an away victory. "The Bankers" have not lost in seven consecutive matches, considering all competitions. Specifically in the league, they have secured two victories and three draws in the previous five matches. It is quite possible that they will take points away from the reigning champion hosts. However, winning is unlikely. After all, Al-Ahly is on a different level, incomparable to the class of National Bank. Moreover, in their previous match, "The Bankers" expended a lot of energy, only eliminating Tala'ea El Gaish from the cup through a penalty shootout.

Al-Ahly Cairo have reclaimed its deserved first place, finally surpassing Pyramids FC, their main competitor in the championship race, in the table. Additionally, the team has a five-match advantage over Pyramids. I believe the question of the league title in Egypt has been settled, but it is too early for the capital footballers to relax. In the last five rounds of the league, Al-Ahly has achieved five victories, all with under 3.5 total goals: against Smouha (2-0), INPI (2-0), Tala'ea El Gaish (2-0), Ceramica Cleopatra (1-0), and Haras El-Hodoud (3-0). I think the National Bank players won't lose to the country's strongest club at the very least, and there won't be many goals either.
Let's first take a look at the five previous head-to-head matches between these opponents. Al-Ahly has never lost to them, with two 1-0 victories and three draws (0-0, 1-1, 1-1). Why invent something new when there is already a successful formula? Of course, that's a joke. But I suggest taking the bet X2+Over 3.5 seriously. Both teams have different motivations for the remainder of the season. However, it is unlikely that anyone would argue that the guests are objectively of a higher class than the hosts. A draw in this match is quite possible, but a victory for the underdog is unlikely. Furthermore, both teams would be satisfied with sharing the points. Neither team will exert significant attacking force or strain themselves for goals. Therefore, I do not expect more than three goals in this match.
Prediction for the match: Al Ahly not to lose and Under 3.5 scored goals.
