Pyramids take on the visitors El Daklyeh in the round 33 match of Egyptian Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, August 14th at 30 June Stadium (Cairo).
Pyramids FC have accepted that they will once again finish as runners-up in the league, having lost back-to-back matches against their only competitor, Al Ahly, in mid-July (2-3 and 0-1). Following these demoralizing defeats, the team dropped more points in two Super League matches with draws against Zamalek (1-1) and Pharco (2-2). As you can see, Pyramids have been consistently conceding goals towards the end of the season. In their last two rounds, the team managed victories over ZED (2-1) and Tala'ea El Gaish (5-2), but neither was a clean sheet. The "Blues" once again settle for silver medals, and in their final match of the season, they have no tournament motivation. Recently, they’ve been conceding goals regularly, and I think their last league match might not be an exception in this regard.

Yes, El Dakhleya is the worst team in the Egyptian Premier League, the first to be relegated early from the Super League. They generally score few goals per game. However, at the end of the season, particularly in matches against top opponents, this team has managed to upset the favorites at least once. For example, a few rounds ago, El Dakhleya, though they lost to Al Ahly (1-4) and Zamalek (1-2), still managed to score in each match. Even without any tournament motivation, the team can gear up for matches against major opponents and play using different strategies. Against the "Red Devils," El Dakhleya played with a lone forward, while against the "White Knights," they fielded three forwards.
However, in this match, the hosts have absolutely no motivation. Pyramids FC cannot finish higher than second in the season standings, nor will they drop lower. This performance in the league, summarizing the entire season, is considered a failure since the club's management expected nothing less than the championship from the "Blues." But there’s no time to dwell on it, as the team starts their Champions League campaign on the 18th. All their efforts will be focused on the qualifying matches of that tournament. I think that in the final league match of the season, Pyramids might concede, as they won’t be giving their all. As for El Dakhleya, who have no reason to sit back in defense, they might just bow out in style by scoring against yet another top Super League team. After all, this is their last match in the elite division of Egyptian football for an indefinite period. My prediction is El Dakhleya to score over 0.5 goals (Individual Total Over 0.5).
Prediction for the match: El Dakhleya to score over 0.5 goals.
