A win this weekend for either Pyramids or Al Ahly will see the victor get second spot in the Egyptian Premier League. Where is your money going?
Date: 16 July
Venue: 30 June Stadium, Cairo
With two games in hand, three points on Saturday for the Red Devils could see them close the gap on league leaders and bitter rivals Zamalek.
Pitso Mosimane's former side will be in action away against second-placed Pyramids, whom they also have two matches in hand over, with three points crucial for both teams' title chances.
Should Al Ahly claim victory, they will go above this weekend's opponents on the table, but what are the chances they will do so?
- Al Ahly have not lost a competitive match to Pyramids in their past six encounters.
- Pyramids have failed to keep a clean sheet against Al Ahly in their past three meetings.
The Red Devils go into Saturday's clash having picked up just two wins in their past five league matches, while the home side is unbeaten in their past five Egyptian Premier League games, having drawn twice and won three times.
Al Ahly, however, have the third-best defensive record in the league so far this season, having conceded just 18 times in 22 games. Pyramids, meanwhile, have conceded just 17 goals.
