Al Ittihad will lock horns against Zed FC at the Alexandria Stadium on Thursday. The visitors are two of the only unbeaten teams in the league, while the hosts remain undefiled on their ground.

Last five games: LDDWW

Since their (3-1) defeat to Ismaily on the road, the home team have won twice and drawn two games. They head here with a solid performance against Smouha on the road, as Mabululu scored from a penalty kick to secure them the maximum points. Al Ittihad have struggled at the back since the season began, and their saving grace has been Mabululu, who has scored in all the games he featured in. The highest goalscorer this season have scored six times.

Al Ittihad have scored ten and conceded nine goals already this campaign, and they need to start defending as a team.

Last four games: WDDDW

The newly promoted team maintained their unbeaten run on the road with a commanding victory over Zamalek. Having been inconsistent in their last three games, with three consecutive stalemates, Zed FC came from a goal down to secure the maximum points against Zamalek. The visitors have picked up twelve points from a possible eighteen, scoring eleven while conceding eight.

Zed FC have a range of experienced and young players who are capable of competing this season, and we expect them to remain in the league.

Al Ittihad have won once and drawn a game against Zed FC in their last two meetings. The hosts have been great since the start of the season, bar their game against Ismaily. They head here with three big points over Smouha on the road. On the other side, Zed FC took advantage of Zamalek's poor form, coming from a goal down to snatch the maximum points. Both teams lack confidence at the back but are excellent up front. We expect the hosts to run riot here, even though we are confident they’ll concede; bet on a total of over 2.5 goals for 2.11.

Zed FC struggled before their game against Zamalek, and we think a well-coordinated team like the hosts will beat them hands down; we expect Ittihad to win here for 2.19.

Both teams are capable of getting goals; bet on BTTS for 1.98.

Good luck!
