Prediction published on 08/12/2023, 02:22  by Nella Wagah in CAF Champions League Predictions

Al Ahly will continue with their CAF Champions League title defence at home to Belouizdad in Group D. Heading into this encounter, Al Ahly tops the standings while Belouizdad are second. These two are separated by a point and Al Ahly are looking to add to their four points so far. The Egyptian giants scored late against Yanga in their last game but a late goal conceded saw them end it 1-1. Returning home, where they thrashed Medeama 3-0, Al Ahly will hope for a better ending. To this game Al Ahly bring a seven-game unbeaten run but with just three wins in there. They have three draws in the last four matches, a run they will be keen to improve on. Al Ahly haven't lost at home in eight matches and have done even better in the Champions League. In their last seven home matches in the competition, they’ve posted straight wins. The Egyptians are unbeaten in nine home matches in the Champions League.

Algerian side Belouizdad had a strong start to their Champions League campaign, beating Yanga 3-0. However, they could not build on it as they shockingly fell 2-1 to Medeama on Match Day 2. That was away from home and they’ll hope to avoid a repeat in their second straight away game in this group. Their second loss in five matches halted a three-game winning run and Belouizdad will be looking to restart another good run. They come into this game in unconvincing away form too. In their last three away matches the Algerians lost twice. Despite their continental profile, this will be the first time Belouizdad face Al Ahly. A win here will see Belouizdad go top of this group and that is the target. Their ambitions will however be hampered by a poor run away from home in the Champions League. Belouizdad have three wins only in 15 Champions League matches away from home. They have three losses in just the last five away matches in the competition.
