Al Ahly and Al-Ittihad Alexandria meet at Cairo Int'l Stadium, al-Qāhirah (Cairo) on Tuesday, Dec 29 at 7:00 PM with both clubs firmly in the mix for the European places in the Premier League. Just 3 points separate them in the standings.
Al Ahly come into this fixture in red-hot form (4W from last 5). Al-Ittihad Alexandria travel in good form (3W 1D 1L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
History strongly favours Al Ahly here — they've won 9 of 10 previous meetings against Al-Ittihad Alexandria, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Al Ahly won 2–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Al Ahly a slight edge, but Al-Ittihad Alexandria are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
