National Bank of Egypt vs Al Ittihad Prediction: We anticipate a total dominance from the hosts as the guests suffer injuries to top players

In order to remain in the division, National Bank of Egypt must amass all the points when they face off against Al Ittihad SC at the Borg El Arab Stadium on Saturday. The hosts head here with a distasteful performance against Smouha SC at home recently, and they’ll be determined to bounce back against the guests here.

Tarik Mostafa's men have been up and running in recent games, but head here with a disappointing performance against Smouha SC at home. Despite scoring first, the guests stroke twice to cart away the maximum points. The defeat came after their six games without a loss. 

National Bank of Egypt have a pretty decent coach who always loves to attack, and the team have finally adapted to the manager's tactics. The hosts are nine points ahead of the relegation zone with thirty-three points from a combined ninety. National Bank of Egypt have won five, drawn twice, and lost eight on their ground this season.

The Thagher's Leaders' woes continue with heavy defeat at home against Pyramids. Al Ittihad conceded four goals in a game for the first time since May. They have now gone nine straight games without a breakthrough. Al Ittihad maintained their tenth place on the log and are presently safe to remain in the league. Over their last nine league matches, Al Ittihad have scored just once from sixteen shots at goal. It’s a poor statistics from Al Ittihad who have some decent players in their team. 

Tarek El Ashry has done a great job since his arrival, and maybe he’ll have to change his style if he wants to play continental football. 

Al Ittihad have won four, drawn four and lost seven on the road this season. 

Al Ittihad have won three and drawn four over their previous seven meetings against National Bank of Egypt. However, the guests have been in terrible form lately, heading here without a win in nine games. At the same time, the hosts have been in decent form in recent weeks until their defeat at home against Smouha SC. 

National Bank of Egypt are a very dangerous team and they’ll be the favorite here even though they have not won against Al Ittihad before.

We expect the hosts to win before the break for 2.57.

The guests will feature mostly youth players as they are nursing injuries to top players, and we think the hosts will take advantage.

Good luck!
