Al Ahly vs Ceramica Cleopatra prediction 25.12.2023

• Competition: Super Cup
• Date: Monday, 25th December 2023
• Kickoff: 17:00 UTC / 18:00 CET
• Venue: Al Salam Stadium (Cairo)

The Egyptian Premier League and the CAF Champions League’s current champions are Al Ahly. They began the new season strongly, remaining undefeated in the national league across six matches (with a record of 4-2-0). Recently, Marcel Koller’s team participated in the FIFA Club World Cup, succumbing to Fluminense in the semifinals. However, Al Ahly managed to secure a 4-2 victory against Urawa Reds in the 3rd place match. Despite the challenging game, Al Ahly’s xG stood at 2.80 compared to Urawa’s 1.95, indicating a well-earned win.

Ceramica Cleopatra, an Egyptian club from Giza, was not considered one of the best in previous years. However, they managed to win the cup in the last season securing their spot in the Super Cup. Currently, the club is on a solid run with 14 points accumulated from nine matches and has remained unbeaten in their last three matches. In their most recent match, Ceramica Cleopatra drew 1-1 against Future FC. Despite having 11 more shots on goal than their opponents, they couldn’t secure a win and the home team ended up gaining a point.

Al Ahly vs Ceramica Cleopatra pick: Al Ahly to win

Al Ahly typically performs well against Ceramica Cleopatra, especially in their home games at Al Salam Stadium where they’ve won all three matches in the last three seasons. Additionally, Al Ahly also managed a 2-1 victory in the only head-to-head game this season while playing away. Given Al Ahly’s superior performance, I anticipate they will secure a win on Monday evening.
