Modern Sport vs ENPPI Prediction: Take the home team in this game

The Egyptian Premier League encounter between Modern Sport and ENPPI will take place at Al-Salam Stadium in Cairo. Heading into this game, the two teams will have high hopes of opening their season with a win. Which side wins here?

Modern Sport will look forward to a better season after being unable to make it to the CAF competitions the previous season. Finishing fifth spot the previous season with 54 points, Modern Sport were one point adrift of fourth place Al Masry. Modern Sport had two wins in their run of games into the new season, coming against Al Ahly and ENPPI. However, they lost to ZED FC and drew Al Ittihad in other games. 

ENPPI will look forward to a better season after finishing 9th the previous season. In 34 matches, this team accumulated 45 points and scored 38 goals while conceding 37. In their run of matches into the new season, ENPPI failed to win any of their last nine matches, losing four of those games. However, the visiting team's previous win was against El Gouna in June. 

The two teams will look to approach this game with their best tactics, but the home side has the better chance. In their past meetings, the home team was the side and also come in as the favorite in this one. While the visiting side has not impressed enough in the past, I believe they will opt for a defensive approach here. Hence, expect a few goals.
