Ceramica vs Al Ittihad Prediction: The visitors will draw the first blood here

On Monday, Ceramica will square off against Al Ittihad at the Cairo International Stadium. Both sides were fantastic in the round of 16, and we expect a fierce battle here.

The hosts have lost three and drawn twice over their previous five matches. Ceramica are just a point ahead of the relegation zone, and it’ll be challenging to survive this season. They head here after knocking out the National Bank of Egypt from the competition. Ceramica scored twice to overturn the home side’s goal after they were reduced to ten. Unfortunately for them, the National Bank of Egypt scored to draw level and forced a penalty shootout which Ceramica won. The result further confirmed how bad Ceramica has been in recent games. Ceramica knows they have to improve their game if they are to get anything out of this encounter.

The Masters of the City have been inconsistent in recent games, with five defeats and a draw. Al Ittihad eliminated ENPPI to secure the ticket to this round in a tough (3-2) victory. Al Ittihad got knocked out in the Egypt Cup a few days ago despite their resilient display against a strong Pyramids side. Al Ittihad have won the Egypt Cup six times but never the Egyptian league cup. Al Ittihad always rely on their top scorer to win games, but the Angola man has fired blanks in their last two games. It will be tough against a strong Ceramica side, but we expect them to scale through here.

Over their previous seven meetings, Al Ittihad have won once while Ceramica have recorded two wins with four games ending in a draw. Both sides have been terrible in their most recent games, and it will be tough to decide who gets all the points. Ceramica have scored once in their last seven games, while Al Ittihad have found the back of the net in three of their previous six games. The information above proves that Al Ittihad will most definitely get a goal before the home side. They have a top player in Mabululu who has scored fourteen times this season, and we expect them to strike first for 2.41.

This game will be played on neutral ground, and we believe Al Ittihad are more experienced than Ceramica; bet on away draw no bet for 2.12.

We expect both sides to get a goal apiece here for 2.23.

Good luck!
