Al Ahly vs Al-Hilal Predictions


I see the Red Devils having two much at their home fortress. I’m tipping Al Ahly to win this first leg with a clean sheet in Cairo.

  • Al Ahly have won 14 of their last 16 home matches (CAF Champions League).
  • Al Ahly have kept 8 clean sheets in their last 11 home matches (CAF Champions League).
  • Al-Hilal have failed to score in 6 of their last 10 away matches (CAF Champions League).
  • Al-Hilal have lost their last 4 away matches vs Al Ahly.

Head to Head


Al Ahly hold a 4-2 lead over Al-Hilah Omdurman across eight clashes with two draws.

These clubs last met in April 2023 as Al Ahly won 3-0 at home. 

Al Ahly Form & Team News


The Red Devils have lost their last three matches in all competitions. They had responded to a 2-1 home loss to Orlando Pirates with a nine-game unbeaten streak.

Four straight wins were followed by a 1-1 home league draw vs Zamalek. Two wins have been followed by three straight losses. 

A 3-0 defeat at Zamalek in the Egyptian Premier League was a poor start to the Champions Round in the league. Two league cup losses have followed, 1-0 vs ENPPI and 3-1 at El Geish.

Coach Marcel Koller has several injured players ahead of this first leg. Winger Karim Fouad remains absent after knee surgery and fellow wide man Reda Slim is out. 

Left back Yahia Attiyat Allah has not played since January and striker Samir Mohamed has a hamstring strain. January signing Nejc Gradisar has four goals in eight appearances.

Al Ahly Predicted Lineup


El Shenawy; Hany, Dari, Rabia, El Debes; El Shahat, Ashour, Attia, Koka; Abou Ali, Gradisar.

Al-Hilal Form & Team News


Al-Hilal have been in mixed form since New Year’s Eve, losing four of their last 12 matches. They topped their CAF Champions League group. 

A 4-0 loss away to TP Mazembe on matchday six was followed by a four-match unbeaten run (WDWW). Al-Hilal were beaten 1-0 at home by Al Merreikh in late February before two wins.

Their last two results were both away wins. A 1-0 victory at Tevragh-Zeine preceded a 4-0 victory at Toulde in their last fixture three weeks ago.

Coach Florent Ibenge has a full-strength squad at his disposal. Goalkeeper Issa Fofana will return in place of Ali Abdallah Abu-Eshrein, who started the 4-0 loss to TP Mazembe.

Mohamed Abdelrahman is the team’s captain and key man. He has netted four goals in this competition this season and has 19 goals in 40 caps for Sudan. 

Al-Hilal Predicted Lineup


I. Fofana; Ebuela, Abaker, Diouf, Diaw; Kane, G. Fofana; Coulibaly, Tendeng, Girumugish; Abdelrahman.

Verdict

I'm tipping a home win with a clean sheet here.
