Aswan FC vs Pyramids FC prediction 14/04/2023

• Date: 14/04/2023
• Competition: Premier League
• KO: 20:15 UK / 21:15 CEST
• Venue: Aswan Stadium (Aswan)

A tight contest seems likely in the Egyptian Premier League as an out-of-form Pyramids FC takes on Aswan FC at the Aswan Stadium.

While still third in the division, visiting Pyramids have suffered a dip in form over the month, with the visitors winning just one of their last six matches in all competitions.

However, hosts Aswan have also struggled for wins, with just one in their last seven games and none in their last four.

Aswan FC vs Pyramids FC Betting Tips: Draw

With both teams out of form, a low-scoring affair seems likely, and a share of the spoils may well prove the best betting angle. 

In recent weeks, both teams have seen a number of drawn matches, with hosts Aswan drawing seven of their last 13 games, including each of the last three. Visiting Pyramids have also drawn three of their last four PL matches and three of their six most recent away league games.

Indeed, with both sides seeing 50% or more of their last ten league matches finishing as draws, that outcome certainly offers the value selection here, with 3.0 odds representing a 33% implied probability of that outcome. As such, the draw pick offers value in a division where goals are usually at a premium. 

In addition, while Pyramids are undoubtedly the stronger side, with the visitors 12 points clear of their hosts, and with two games in hand, a Monday night extra-time loss against Al Ahly is likely to have fatigued the visitors with this fixture occurring just 72 hours on from that painful defeat.

While many might prefer the under 2.5 goals pick for this fixture, hosts Aswan have seen over 2.5 goals scored in three of their last five home PL games. With that in mind, we´re unsure whether this fixture is ideal for goal chasers. Pyramids have similarly inconclusive numbers of late, with four of their last eight on the road going over 2.5 and four going under. Three of five previous meetings between these sides did go over 2.5 goals, while three also saw BTTS.

Considering the lack of consistency in either team's recent goal numbers, we´ll stick with our value draw selection in a game where a 1:1 draw would hardly be the most surprising result.
