Football Prediction
Al Ahly will be up against ES Tunis (Esperance) in a clash to decide the best club in the African continent on Saturday in Cairo.
With CAF insisting on having two legs in a continental final, both teams battled to a scoreless draw in the first leg staged in Tunisia.
Defending Champions Al Ahly come into the game as clear favourites as they are on course to win the quadruple after bagging the Super Cup and the domestic Cup titles. They are the most successful club in the competition having won 11 titles but are 7th in the current league standings but have played six to eight games fewer than the rest of the teams.
Opponents Esperance finished 2nd in the domestic league and were stopped by Al Ahly in the CAF Champions League Semi-Finals last season. This year, they are having a much better season as they are holding the top spot in the domestic league with a five-point advantage, and there are only three rounds to go. Their only bad performance was in the domestic Cup when they lost to the second-tier team (OC Kerkennah) in a strange match when Esperance received two straight red cards and lost in the 1/16 Finals. However, if they manage to win the CAF CL and the domestic league, this season will definitely be a massive success.
H2H / Stats
Both clubs have only met in the CAF Champions League. In their previous meetings, Al Ahly has the edge as they have won four of their last five meetings even though the recent encounter between them ended in a draw.
Team News
Al Ahly’s Ali Maaloul suffered an injury in the reverse fixture and had to leave the game just after seven minutes. He will most likely miss the upcoming game, and with him potentially out, 20-year-old Karim El Debes could get the opportunity to start. Amr El Solia, Ahmed Abdelkader, and Cristo, who missed the previous game(s) due to injuries, should remain sidelined.
Esperance has no new injuries or suspensions, and we will most likely see little to no chances in the starting lineup compared to the first leg.
Probable Line-Up
Al Ahly XI: Shobeir (GK), Hany, Rabia, Abdelmoneim, El Debes, Tawfik, Ashour, Attia, Tau, Abou Ali, El Shahat
Esperance XI: Memmiche (GK), Ben Ali, Meriah, Tougai, Ben Hamida, Aholou, Teka, Chaaleli, Yan, Rodrigues, Ghacha
Verdict
This promises to be another tight contest just as it was witnessed in the first leg where we saw only one shot at the goal, and neither team had a real opportunity to score.
Bet on Under 2.5 Goals
Reason: Al Ahly has always been a better team than Esperance but the Tunisians are determined to end that monopoly this Saturday.

Al Ahly Win
Reason: Al Ahly played many high-scoring games this season in the domestic competitions. In the CAF Champions League, they were under 2.5 goals in nine of 11 games and this is expected to continue against Esperance as they look to close shop early.
Hussein El Shahat to Score
Reason: While Tau’s goals have dried up, the hosts will depend on experienced El Shahat to deliver the goods. The winger has been capable of cutting in from the wings to bang goals and has played a pivotal role in providing goals too for his teammates. He’ll surely want to bag a goal in front of their fans.
