Al Ahly SC vs Pharco Betting Tips: AH1 (-1.5)

The 43-time Egyptian champions were awarded three points without even stepping onto the pitch, as their arch-rivals Zamalek refused to show up for the Cairo derby on Tuesday, allowing Al Ahly to continue their unchallenged pursuit of another Egyptian Premier League title.

Due to their commitments in the African Champions League this term, the Red Devils have only been in top-flight action 19 times, which is six fewer than the league leaders who are 17 points ahead, meaning they could leapfrog Pyramids to the top of the table if they won all 18 points.

Counting their awarded victory over Zamalek on Tuesday, Marcel Koller's troops have stretched their victorious run to eight matches in the Egyptian top division and have no intention of slowing down as they chase the runaway leaders whom they will face in mid-July.

Their next challenge comes in the form of relegation-threatened Pharco, who managed to widen their cushion above the danger zone by three points after Nasser's 14th-minute strike proved sufficient to guide their side to a solitary victory over Al Ittihad.

With just three points separating them from the dreaded dotted line, PHA need continue to produce positive results to keep their heads above water, but they road record this term makes for uncomfortable reading, having emerged victorious only twice in 14 away fixtures.

Even with the fire under their feet, Ahmed Khattab's men realize that picking up points against an unstoppable Al Ahly is almost impossible, especially considering they have come away empty-handed in four of their last five H2Hs against the Cairo giants, including a reverse fixture where they fell 1-2 just two weeks ago.

Given the mountainous gap in quality between these sides, we remain firmly convinced that Al Ahly's title chase will continue unimpeded. In their home turf this season, the Red Devils appear ruthless in front of goal, averaging nearly three goals per match, and with six of their seven victories this season coming by at least a two-goal margin, we expect them to see off Pharco in routine fashion.
