Ethiopian Insurance
On October 30, 2025, in the second leg of the CAF Champions League final qualifying round, Pyramids will host Ethiopian Insurance. The match is scheduled to kick off at 17:00 Central European Time. Let’s take a closer look at the potential outcome of this clash.
Pyramids
Pyramids approach this match in excellent form, showing consistent results across all competitions and currently riding a ten-match unbeaten streak. The 1-1 draw in the first leg against Ethiopian Insurance only ended their nine-match winning run.
On the international stage, the club successfully passed the first qualifying round of the CAF Champions League, confidently defeating their Rwandan opponent with an aggregate score of 5-0. Recently, Pyramids claimed their first trophy of the season by winning the CAF Super Cup, beating Moroccan side RS Berkane 1-0. They also made an impressive showing at the FIFA Intercontinental Cup, defeating Auckland City 3-0 and Al Ahli Saudi 3-1 to advance to the semifinals, where they’ll face Cruz Azul from Mexico.
In this match, Pyramids remain the clear favorite. The draw in the first leg looks more like an exception, as the Egyptian side have a clear advantage in class. At home, Pyramids are particularly dominant — six consecutive wins without conceding a single goal.
Ethiopian Insurance
Ethiopian Insurance were crowned champions of the Ethiopian Premier League last season, confidently securing the title and earning the right to compete in the CAF Champions League. In the first qualification round, they narrowly advanced past Zanzibar’s Mlandege SC with a 4-3 aggregate victory.
The new domestic season has just started, and Ethiopian Insurance have played only one league match so far — a goalless draw. Overall, their current form doesn’t inspire much confidence, as they are now winless in three straight matches across all competitions. This away fixture against Pyramids will be a real challenge for the Ethiopian champions, given the clear gap in quality between the teams.
We can expect an entertaining cup encounter where Pyramids will aim to confidently secure their place in the next round, while Ethiopian Insurance will fight to uphold the honor of their national title.
