Al Ahly vs Simba FC prediction
CAF defending Champions Al Ahly SC travelled to Dar es Salaam on 29th March to face Tanzanian giants, Simba SC in the first leg of the Quarter-Finals and the North Africans picked up a hard-fought 1-0 win thanks to an early Ahmed Kouka goal for the Egyptian giants. They did well to absorb the resultant pressure from Simba throughout the encounter to basically put one foot in the semis in their quest to defend their title.
Having failed to take advantage of their 60,000 capacity home crowd, Simba now face an uphill task as they travel to take on the champs. Despite conceding early in that 1st leg, they did not sit back and launched waves of attacks which were repelled by Al Ahly’s solid defence, with keeper Mostafa Shobeir pulling a string of saves to keep the hosts at bay. Simba will look to build on that 2nd half performance here.
Another cagey affair is expected here given the magnitude of this game. The hosts picked up the crucial win on the road and they will be looking to finish the job here. We are therefore going for Under 2.5 Goals as our opening Al Ahly vs Simba FC prediction for this game
