Bitesize Prediction: Modern Sport vs Al Ahly – 16/07/24

Competition: Egypt Premier League

Market: Over 1.5 goals

Odds: 4/11 @ BetUS

Looking to extend on their Premier League purple patch in midweek, Al Ahly will travel to Modern Sport on Tuesday night.

Starting with the hosts, while Modern Sport might open Tuesday’s showdown at the Al Salam Stadium pencilled in as a landslide underdog, Talaat Youssef’s men are in the midst of an extended flurry. Putting in another eye-catching performance as they secured a 2-1 victory away at the Arab Contractors last week, the former Al Ittihad boss has seen his squad skyrocket up the Premier League standings, the Cairo-based outfit now have their sights firmly set on clinching a Confederation Cup ticket this season. Signing off June with a 2-0 win against El Gounah, Youssef’s side have won all of their previous three appearances by an aggregate score of 5-1. Likewise, booking their spot in the quarter-finals of this year’s Egypt Cup thanks to a routine 3-0 romp against Asyut Petroleum’s camp have won six of their last seven appearances across all competitions. Looking to collect what would be a major scalp on Tuesday night, Modern Sport have also suffered just a single defeat in front of their own supporters since the end of March.

As for the visitors, making real history last season as they got their hands on a 43rd domestic crown, Al Ahly are storming their way to another Premier League title. Putting in an action-packed performance last weekend as they secured a 3-2 victory at home against Pyramids, the Egyptian giants are riding a major wave of momentum. Simply looking to widen their buffer over the chasing pack on Tuesday night, the Red Devils have won all of their previous nine straight appearances across all competitions. Getting July underway with a thumping 4-1 romp against El Daklyeh, Marcel Koller’s men have also gained a reputation for their free-scoring displays in the final third. Including a 4-0 victory against El Gaish earlier in the month, Al Ahly have notched 15 goals in just their last five top-flight battles. Not suffering a single defeat over the past three months, it should also be highlighted that Koller’s camp have won their previous four showdowns on the road by an aggregate score of 9-2.
