Al Ittihad take on Al Ahly in the round 26 match of Egyptian Premier League. The match will be played on Tuesday, June 18th at Borg El Arab Stadium (Alexandria).
Currently, "the City Masters," as their fans affectionately call them, are in the top 5 of the league table. However, this high position has been maintained largely due to an excellent start to the championship. Recently, the team from Alexandria has been experiencing a significant slump. In their last ten league matches, Al-Ittihad has suffered five defeats, compared to just two losses in the previous 15 rounds. Previously, the team had been losing mainly in away matches (0-3 to Zamalek, 1-2 to El Gouna, and 1-4 to Al Ahly), but in May, "the City Masters" were defeated 0-2 in two home games (against Smouha and the aforementioned Zamalek).

After two years, Al Ahly has finally reclaimed the championship title from Zamalek and plans to defend their status as Egypt's strongest team this season. The main competitor for the "Red Devils," Pyramids, currently leads the Super League table with a 20-point margin. However, they have also played seven more matches. This means Al Ahly has seven games in hand compared to their rival. If they win all these matches, they can gain 21 points, which would put them in the lead. It seems that this is the direction things are heading. The "Red Devils" have already secured five consecutive victories in the national championship, scoring at least one goal in each match. As previously mentioned, they have already thrashed Al-Ittihad. Other results in this winning streak include victories over Ismaily (2-1), Baladiyat El-Mahalla (2-1), El Gouna (3-0), and Pharco (2-1).
Currently, both teams have the same number of points in the national championship. However, this should not be a concern, as the defending champions have played nine fewer matches than their opponent. Al-Ittihad has significantly declined recently, conceding two goals in each of their last two home league matches. I believe that Al Ahly will score at least two goals against the Alexandrians. The favorites have done this in each of the last four head-to-head matches, comfortably defeating this opponent: 3-0, 3-0, 2-0, and 4-1. My prediction is that Al Ahly will score over 1.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Al Ahly to score over 1.5 scored goals.
