Al Mokawloon vs Caramica Prediction: Both teams stand equal chances of securing the maximum points

Al Mokawloon will lock horns against Ceramica at the Arab Contractors Stadium on Thursday as they fight to survive relegation this season. The hosts took a decent stride in their attempt to remain in the league when they defeated Zamalek on their ground, and they’ll be hopeful of repeating such a performance against a solid Ceramica team.

Last five games: LDLDW

Mohammed Odeh's men secured their first league win since June as they defeated a strong Zamalek side. Mohamed Salem and Mohamed Antar scored before their opponent responded once at home. Al Mokawloon who have scored in seven consecutive matches, have improved in front of goal, and they’ll be determined to keep up with such momentum. Before their victory over Zamalek, they settled for a share of the spoils away from home. 

The hosts have had a poor start to the season, as they are just five points above the bottom team on the log. Al Mokawloon have picked up twenty-four points since the beginning of this campaign, losing sixteen, winning five, and sharing the spoils in nine games.

Al Mokawloon have won twice, drawn four, and lost nine at home this season. 

Last five games: LWDWL

Aymen Al Rammadi's men's three-game undefeated run ended with a heavy loss against the potential champions. Ceramica, who went head to head with Al Ahly, lost focus towards the end of the game, and their opponent pounced on the opportunity. Ceramica were outplayed by the defending champions as they were restricted to playing closer to their box. Ceramica failed to convert their chances against a strong opponent and were punished duly. Aymen Al Rammadi's men have been inconsistent lately, marching here with two victories over their last five matches. 

Ceramica are one of the strongest sides in the division but somehow lack the bite to kill off teams when they have the opportunity. 

Ceramica have picked up forty-one points from a combined ninety, scoring forty-three while conceding thirty-seven. They have won four, lost eight, and drawn three games away from home this season. 

Both teams have won two matches apiece, with four games ending in a share of the spoils over their last eight matches. Al Mokawloon have intensified their pursuit of remaining in the league with their previous two performances. Firstly, they shared the spoils against Al Masry on the road and defeated Zamalek. These displays can’t be underestimated. Even though it’s unlikely they’ll remain in the league, they have shown grit and determination lately. At the same time, Ceramica, who have nothing to play this season were humbled by Al Ahly away from home. The loss ended their three games' unbeaten run. 

Al Mokawloon can be unpredictable most times, and considering how tough Ceramica can be, we think both sides have an equal chance of winning here. We are confident both teams will get a goal apiece here for 1.97.

Ceramica might even get a goal before the break for 1.85.

We expect to see more than two goals here to 2.31.

Good luck!
