Esperance Tunis vs Al Ahly prediction
Esperance Tunis warmed up for this CAF Champions League final 1st leg fixture with a 3-2 win over Etoile du Sahel in their Tunisian domestic league. The win was timely, considering that Esperance had gone 3 games without a win (D2 L1), including losing the Tunisian Cup final to OC Kerkennah in extra time. In the semi finals of the CAF Champions League, Esperance beat fancied Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa 1-0 both home and away.
For Al Ahly, things seem to be going well as they have registered 5 straight wins in their last 5 matches across all competitions. In the semi-finals of this cup, they managed a 0-0 draw in the 1st leg away to TP Mazembe of DR Congo before finishing the job 3-0 at home in the 2nd leg. If Al Ahly can manage a draw in this match, they will not be disappointed, as they still have to welcome Esperance to Cairo for the 2nd leg.
This being a big cup final, the teams are likely to take a cautious approach to the game. The defenses of both clubs seem up to the task, considering that neither team conceded any goal during the two legs of their respective semi-finals. We expect a low-scoring game here, so our Esperance Tunis vs Al Ahly prediction is Under 2.5 Goals.

Prediction 3: Over 2.5 Bookings
If history is anything to go by then we should expect a feisty match with lots of fouls and contestations. High-stake matches involving either team are known to bring a lot of pressure and tension both on and off the pitch. Bookings and even sending offs are common in such scenarios and we feel that this match is also likely to have a number of bookings. After all, the last 3 H2H encounters each had 3 or more bookings, including a red card in one of the games. Our third tip is Over 2.5 Bookings.
