Firstly looking at Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti’s side suffered a disappointing 1-0 loss at the weekend in La Liga, which dented their title hopes, as they now sit eight points behind league leaders Barcelona.

However, Madrid will certainly enter this fixture against Al Ahly as strong favourites, and they might be looking at this fixture as a perfect opportunity to return to winning ways, which could somewhat help them regain momentum in the league.

The Italian boss will be without Karim Benzema, Eder Militao, Thibaut Courtois, Eden Hazard, Lucas Vasquez and Ferland Mendy, but he will be hoping the rest of his squad has enough quality to see off the Egyptian side tonight.

Whereas, Al Ahly come into this fixture in remarkable form, as their recent victory meant that they are now unbeaten in 23 matches in all competitions, albeit they will be up against significantly better opposition in tonight’s test, compared to the sides they have faced amongst this run.

Marcel Koller (manager of Al Ahly) will be aware of the quality that the opposing side posses within their ranks, however, he will be hoping that his sides defensive resilience will be enough to put up a fight, as they have conceded just once in their eight games played so far in 2023.

We predict a comfortable Madrid victory tonight in Morocco, and you can bet on Madrid to win Handicap (+2) at 4.00. With Vinicius Junior scoring in both of the Spanish sides recent victories, you can get odds for him to find the back of the net anytime at 2.75, with Bet9ja.

Bet9ja odds (at time of writing, 90 mins): Al Ahly win: 7.70, Draw: 4.70, Real Madrid win: 1.43
