Ismaily vs Zamalek Prediction: We expect the visitors to be stronger

Ismaily will square off with Zamalek at the Ismailia Stadium on Saturday. Both sides have been poor in recent games, and it will be hard to tell who secures all the points here.

Last five games: WDWWL

Hamza El Gamal's men's unbeaten run ended as they were beaten by Pyramids on the road. After conceding twice before the break, they found the back of the net in the 67th minute. However, the home side extended their lead by scoring once to obtain all the points. That’s back-to-back defeats against Al Masry and Pyramids in all competitions. Ismaily are doing everything to stay in the league, and they need all the maximum points here to guarantee a spot off the relegation zone. Ismaily have picked up twenty-six points from a possible seventy-five, won two, and lost five while sharing the spoils five times at home.

Juan Carlos Osorio's men returned to winning ways when a lone goal from Jaziri secured them the victory against Ceramica at home. Their next game was a (3-2) win against a division two side in the League Cup. Zamalek are still in the race to secure the ticket to next year's champions league with seven points behind Future FC in second place. Zamalek have won five, lost four, and drawn four away from home this season.

Over their last twenty meetings, Zamalek have won fourteen times while Ismalily have recorded four victories and two matches ending in a share of the spoils. The last time Ismaily won against the White Knights was in 2017. Zamalek struggled to win their previous game against a division two side, though the starting eleven were filled with fringe players. I’m convinced Zamalek won’t lose here, especially with their excellent record against the home team, and we want to trust them with a win in either half for 1.80.

We expect both sides to get a goal apiece here for 1.83.

Both sides might settle for a halftime draw for 2.05.

Good luck!
