After their recent victory over Zamalek in the 132nd Cairo derby, Al Ahly returned to the race for the Egyptian Premier League title, raising their points to 47, sitting in third place. With only two games left before the end of the season, here are the scenarios that could lead to Al Ahly's title win.

Scenario 1: Al Ahly Wins and Zamalek or Pyramids Stumble

If Al Ahly wins both of its remaining matches against Enppi and Al Masry, they will reach 53 points. In this case, Al Ahly will need either Zamalek or Pyramids to drop points in one of their remaining matches:

Zamalek Stumble: If Zamalek draws or loses one of their remaining matches against Smouha or Ceramica Cleopatra, they will finish with 51 or 52 points.

Pyramids Stumble: If Pyramids draws or loses one of their remaining matches against Ceramica Cleopatra or Smouha, they will finish with 50 or 52 points.

With the stumble of either of them, Al Ahly will surpass them in the standings due to their superior head-to-head record.

Scenario 2: Al Ahly Wins and Both Pyramids and Zamalek Stumble

If Al Ahly wins both matches, they will reach 53 points. However, they will need both Pyramids and Zamalek to stumble:

Pyramids Stumble: A loss or draw for Pyramids in their remaining matches against Ceramica Cleopatra and Smouha will ensure they don't surpass Al Ahly.

Zamalek Stumble: If Zamalek loses or draws one of their remaining matches, they will finish with fewer than 53 points.

If this scenario happens, Al Ahly will win the title.

With both competitors drawing, Al Ahly will surpass them due to their head-to-head advantage or goal difference.

Pyramids Draw: A draw in both matches will leave them with 52 points.

Zamalek Draw: Drawing both of their matches will also leave them with 52 points.

In this case, Al Ahly will be in the best position to win the league, thanks to their head-to-head record.

For Al Ahly to win the Egyptian Premier League title, they need to secure victories in their remaining matches, while hoping for some level of slip-ups from their rivals Zamalek and Pyramids, either through draws or losses. The title is still within reach, depending on how the final matches unfold.
