ENPPI vs National Bank of Egypt Prediction: The hosts will finally get their first win here

Winless ENPPI will strive to get their first three points of the season when they host National Bank of Egypt at the Petrosport Stadium on Saturday. Both sides are yet to register a win since the season began, but the home side seems like the favorite, considering their performance in recent weeks.

The visiting side kicked off their league campaign with a slim (1-0) defeat on the road against El Dakhlya. ENPPI played their hearts out and dominated their opponent; however, they failed to convert their chances. Their second game ended in a share of the spoils even though they were reduced to ten men against El Gaish. More recently, they lost (1-0) to a strong Pyramids side on the road.

ENPPI were among the toughest teams to face last season, finishing in the sixth spot on the log. ENPPI were the only team that drew once on the road last season, although they only won six of the seventeen games away from home.

Nikodimos's men have lost their last three games since the season began, following their (2-0) defeat on matchday one; the result was followed by another (0-1) loss against a tough Pyramids side. More recently, after scoring first at halftime, National Bank of Egypt succumbed to a more potent side as Zamalak responded twice to cart away the maximum point.

With one goal this campaign, Osama Faisal and Madbouli's partnership has failed to work, and coach Nikodimos need to try other options to get back on track.

ENPPI have won four while National Bank of Egypt have won once and two games ending in a draw. ENPPI won this fixture back to back last season; moreover, this meeting has produced more than two goals in six of their previous seven games. ENPPI have been the better side and have shown glimpses of winning in recent weeks, even though the visitors can’t be totally written off. We expect the home team to win either half here for 1.89.

We expect to see more than two goals here for 2.48.

With Mohamed Fathi out of this game for the National Bank of Egypt after receiving a second caution against Zamalek, ENPPI are expected to win here for 2.50.

Good luck!
