ZED vs Al-Ahly prediction and betting tips on April 11, 2024
The rescheduled match of the 8th round of the Egyptian Premier League will be played on Thursday in Cairo, where the local ZED will host Al-Ahly at the stadium. Here's the prediction for this match from the experts at Dailysports.
ZED
The "Green-Blacks" are fighting for a top-three finish and currently hold the fifth position in the Egyptian Premier League table. In 16 matches, ZED has gathered 24 points, just three points shy of the third-placed Al-Masry. It's worth noting that ZED has suffered defeats in only two out of 16 matches but has drawn in nine encounters. Heading into the match against Al-Ahly, Magdi Abdel Aati's team is coming off an away draw against Ceramica Cleopatra with a score of 1-1. This draw marks the third consecutive one for ZED, while they haven't won in seven matches across all competitions.
Al-Ahly
The "Red Devils" are the most decorated football club in Africa and the world. However, in the current season, Al-Ahly has only played nine matches and currently sits in the tenth position in the league table. With 18 points to their name, they trail the league leaders ENPPI by ten points, albeit with eight matches fewer played. Clearly, Al-Ahly's priority lies in performing well in the Champions League rather than the domestic league. In the quarter-final stage, they defeated Simba in two matches. Leading up to the game against ZED, Marcelo Gallardo's team is coming off a home draw against ENPPI with a score of 2-2.
