Al Ittihad vs Baladiyet El Mahalla Prediction: The hosts will maintain their momentum against the visitors

Al Ittihad will face off against Baladiyet El Mahalla at the Alexandria Stadium on Monday. Both sides kicked off their Cup campaign with a win-a-piece, but the hosts seem like the favourite here. 

The Green Eagles continued their decent run of eight games without defeat. Al Ittihad stunned Future FC on their home ground as Khaled El Ghandour's second-half goal earned the maximum points. Since their (3-1) defeat to Ismaily on the road, the home team have won five and drawn three games. Al Ittihad have scored fifteen and conceded ten goals already this campaign, and they need to start defending as a team.

The visitors began their Egyptian League Cup campaign with a slim (0-1) victory over Smouha SC. Mohammed Amissi scored his first goal for Baladiyet El Mahalla since his arrival from Netherlands. The lone goal secured them the entire points on their ground. 

They have picked up ten points from a combined thirty, conceding eighteen and scoring twelve times. 

Baladiyet El Mahalla have lost just one game on the road this season, winning once and sharing the spoils in four games.

Both teams have met once this season, with two goals from both ends. Al Ittihad continued their decent run in all competitions, carting away the maximum points against a tough side on the road. On the other hand, Baladiyet El Mahalla protected their early lead against Smouha a few days ago, defending the goal with their lives to secure the maximum points. This is a tough game, and we think anything can happen here. Regardless, Al Ittihad will be determined to get another three points here for 1.84.

We expect the visitors to get a goal here; bet on BTTS for 2.00.

This game will witness more than two goals for 2.25.

Good luck!
