Al Ahly vs El Dakhleya prediction and betting tips - June 21, 2024
One of the postponed matches of the 12th round of the Egyptian Premier League will take place on Friday, when Al Ahly will host El Dakhleya at the "Al Salam" Stadium in the capital. Here is a prediction for this match from the Dailysports team of experts.
Al Ahly
The "Red Devils" triumphed over Esperance in the final of the African Champions League and have now set their sights on catching up in their domestic league. As anticipated, the team quickly ascended the standings and currently occupies third place in the Egyptian Premier League. Although Al Ahly is 20 points behind the leading Pyramids, they have played seven fewer matches. Thus, in terms of points per game, the "Red Devils" are the leaders in the elite division. The key now is to accumulate points in their postponed matches, one of which will be played this coming Friday. In their last outing, Al Ahly secured a 1-0 away victory against Al Ittihad. Overall, in 17 matches, the "Red Devils" have suffered only two defeats.
El Dakhleya

In 25 matches, Alaa Abd El Aala's team has managed just two victories, suffering 14 defeats. As a result, El Dakhleya has only 15 points and is already seven points adrift of the safety zone. In their most recent game, the "Red and Blacks" played away against Smouha and lost 2-3. In their last five rounds, El Dakhleya has won only one match and lost three. In away matches, El Dakhleya has been defeated 10 times out of 13, without a single victory.
