- Venue: Suez Canal Stadium
Pyramids will be looking to keep their hopes of winning the Egyptian top flight alive on Wednesday evening when they take on Ceramica Cleopatra away from home.
The hosts are currently enjoying their best Premier League campaign since gaining promotion around five seasons ago. Ali Maher’s men are currently fifth in the standings with 37 points and they have scored the second-highest number of goals in the playoffs. The Gold & Blood beat Haras El Hodoud 2-0 in their last home game, but concerns have been raised by their failure to win consecutive league games since March.
Pyramids have lost momentum in the playoffs. Krunoslav Jurčić’s side finished the regular season three points clear at the top of the standings with just one defeat in 17 games but they have already suffered two defeats in seven playoff games. This dip in form has seen them drop to second place, two points behind the leaders, Al Ahly. However, the Blues will be motivated by the fact that they won their last two league games while keeping clean sheets.
Ceramica Cleopatra vs Pyramids FC Betting Tips: Pyramids to win
Cleopatra will be buoyed by their 2-0 win over Haras on this pitch last Friday, but most of their recent results at home have been poor. The Gold & Blood have won only one of their last four games, suffering two defeats and they conceded a record seven goals in that spell.
Pyramids' form is not much better than that of the hosts. The visitors boast only two wins from their last five games in all competitions but their defensive solidity is what sets them apart. Jurčić’s side conceded only once in their last three games, winning two, so I think they have what it takes to beat Cleopatra this week.
