Medeama vs AL Ahly SC (EGY) Prediction & Betting Tips - CAF Champions League

Prediction published on 23/02/2024, 02:05  by Daniel Ngulu in CAF Champions League Predictions

Medeama will seek to rise from the bottom of Group D when they host Al Ahly in the CAF Champions League. While these two sides have had contrasting fortunes, only two points separate them, with Al Ahly topping the group. Ghanaian side Medeama has a win and a draw in the opening four matches. Any more dropped points from now on will jeopardize their chances of advancing to the knockouts. In the first meeting with Al Ahly, they suffered a 3-0 loss away in Egypt. They will go into this one seeking to avenge that defeat though their run up to this game has really few wins. The Ghanaians have actually managed just one win in the last six matches. In three of their last six matches, they failed to score. However, they managed two goals in their last game, drawing 2-2 with Heart of Lions in their domestic league. Medeama’s four points in this group have been won at home and they will be banking on this form as they meet the Egyptian giants.

Al Ahly’s title defence is well on track. With a win here, they’ll move closer to booking their slot in the knockout stages. It is expected the Egyptian giants will be among the sides in the draws for the quarterfinals. Four points in their remaining two matches could be all they need, depending on other results in this round. A 3-0 win at home over Medeama was a routine one and they’ll be expected to compete the double here. Six points from four matches will however be viewed as low returns for the record Champions League winners. It happens that while they are unbeaten in this group, they’ve only managed to beat Medeama. To this game they carry a four-game unbeaten run, winning three of them. In their last outing the champions drew 0-0 with Belouizdad away from home.
