Ghazl El-Mahalla vs National Bank of Egypt Prediction: This game won’t deny us goals

On Wednesday, Ghazl El-Mahalla will lock horns against National Bank of Egypt at the El Mahalla Stadium. The guests who lost their league game against Ceramica can’t afford to drop points against their newly promoted opponent.

Last five games: LWLDW

The hosts picked up their second win of the season against all odds on the road. Ghazl El-Mahalla scored four times and conceded twice against a solid Smouha SC on the road. For a newly promoted team, Ghazl El-Mahalla scoring four times against such an opponent is a sign that there is more to their side than the present form. 

It was a more impressive display from them as they returned to winning ways after their toothless stalemate against Al Ittihad on the road. The guests have shown signs of improvement lately, and they’ll be keen to secure all the points here. 

Ghazl El-Mahalla have lost all their games at home since promotion. 

Last five games: DLDWL

Tarek Moustafa's men suffered their third defeat of the season as they were beaten by Ceramica at home. National Bank of Egypt, who scored first after the break, switched off at the back as their opponents found the back of the net twice in two minutes to cart away the maximum points. National Bank of Egypt have not been favoured with their fixtures this season, having already played Zamalek, Pyramids, Al Ahly, Future, and Ceramica. National Bank of Egypt have picked up five points from a possible eighteen, scoring five and conceding eight. 

National Bank of Egypt have improved their squad over the transfer window, and they’ve been playing as a team this campaign. 

Over their last six matches, National Bank of Egypt have won once and recorded five stalemates against Ghazl El-Mahalla. The home team has been pretty sound on the road and not at home. They have lost twice and drawn a game in front of their home supporters this campaign. At the same time, National Bank of Egypt have been unlucky with fixtures, and I expect them to approach this game with great intensity.

The hosts are still euphoric about their win over Smouha, and their enthusiasm will help them fight against a strong National Bank of Egypt side. I think both teams will get a goal apiece since five of their last six meetings have produced a BTTS.

Considering the quality of the guests, I expect them to score before the break for 2.30.

This game will produce more than two goals as both teams' defence have been below par this campaign.

Good luck!
