APWin Prediction

Correct Score: 2 - 1

The APWin team has examined the key betting markets and identified the most valuable opportunities.

👉 Our prediction is: Young Africans win or draw

Our evaluations have shown there is not much separating Al Ahly and Young Africans overall. But given the extra betting edge that comes with the Double Chance market, where a win or a draw is enough to win the bet, we recommend taking Young Africans to win or draw in this match.

With odds of 2.65, there is a good deal of value on Young Africans to pull off a potential upset away from home against Al Ahly, who have not been in the best form of late.

👉 Our prediction is: Both teams don't score

It's hard to overlook the part that defence will play in this match. The capable defending of both sides will be tough for opposing offences, which is why it could be a low-scoring affair.

That overwhelming defence is also a great reason to go 'no' on the Both teams to score market.
