Current Form – Eagles Stuttering, Petrol Men Punching Above

Al Ahly SC (15th – 6 points from 5 games)

• Turbulent times: Recent 1-0 loss to Pyramids snapped a three-game unbeaten run (W2 D1); but unbeaten in 10 of last 12 overall across comps

• Home heartbeat: Perfect in four league homes this season (12-2 aggregate), averaging 2.4 goals scored per game

• Attack potent: 12 goals total (2.4 per game), led by Abou Ali (6 goals) and El Shahat's creativity; but leaky at back with 7 conceded

• Injury crisis: Imam Ashour (midfield engine, muscle strain – doubtful), Yasser Ibrahim (defender, knock), Achraf Dari (recurring thigh, out until Jan), Mohamed Shokry (hamstring) sidelined – backline patched with Rabia and Hany
  
  

ENPPI (7th – 9 points from 6 games)

• Steady climbers: Unbeaten in three (W1 D2), including that 1-1 stalemate vs Al Ahly in September; 0.83 goals scored but stout defense (0.83 conceded per game)

• Road resilience: Drew 1-1 at Al Ahly earlier, winless in last four aways but just three goals shipped in six road games

• Squad solid: Mohamed Sherif (3 goals) and Ahmed Zaki key threats; no major injuries reported – full strength with Mody Naser anchoring midfield

• Underdog bite: Averaging 1.0 points per game, but H2H draws (3 in last 6) show they frustrate giants

Head-to-Head: Al Ahly's Iron Grip With Recent Cracks

Al Ahly dominate the ledger (23W-2L-10D in 35 meetings), but ENPPI have clawed back: Just one loss in last five (D3 L1 W1), including 1-1 draws in September 2025 and April 2024 Cup tie. At Cairo International, Ahly unbeaten in eight (W5 D3), but games average 2.86 goals with over 2.5 in 60% and BTTS in four of last six. Last clash? That gritty 1-1 where ENPPI's low block held firm – expect similar tension, but Ahly's home firepower tips the scales.

Tactical Breakdown: Riveiro's Fire vs Metwalli's Wall

Jose Riveiro's Al Ahly unleash a high-pressing 4-3-3 (55% possession vs mid-table), targeting ENPPI's flanks with El Shahat and Dieng's runs for Abou Ali's poaching. Set-pieces lethal (5 goals this season), but injuries force Saad Samir and Ayman Ashraf into a makeshift defense – El Shenawy (1.8 saves/game) key. Metwalli's ENPPI counter with a compact 4-2-3-1 bunker (38% possession away), absorbing via Kalosha's grit and hitting on breaks through Sherif and Kofta. Their road clean-sheet rate (50%) meets Ahly's shot volume (15/game home) – corners aplenty (10.5 combined), but low-block could force a grind.

The Killer Stat for Al Ahly to Win

Al Ahly vs bottom-half sides at home: 100% win rate this season (4/4), scoring 3+ in three; ENPPI? Winless in 80% of last 10 vs top teams, plus just 2 H2H wins ever.

Final Prediction

Al Ahly SC 2–1 ENPPI

Abou Ali nods the opener from a corner, Sherif levels on a rare counter, but El Shahat's late curler seals it. Ahly climb to 9 points, ENPPI stay scrappy – Cairo breathes again.

Bookies undervalue the goals in Ahly's home romps – this over/BTTS is value city. Lock it on Sokabet.co.tz before lines move; the Eagles soar.

Stake smart, feel the Nile heat, and let's green up in the stands. 💰
