Zamalek SC vs Ceramica FC Prediction: This evenly contested game won’t deny us goals

In this highly competitive game, Zamalek will face off against Ceramica FC at the Cairo International Stadium on Thursday. The White Knights will start a new life under coach Christian Gross, who replaced Jose Manuel Gomes. The German coach will kick off his second stink in Zamalek colour against a very dangerous Ceramica team tomorrow. 

The White Knights head here work three victories in four games, as they sit in second place on the log. Zamalek SC bounced back from their (0-1) home loss against Al Masry to score four against a struggling Ghazl El Mahalla. The home team began the game in high spirits, forcing Yahia Zakaria to a red card with just four minutes on the pitch. Zamalek SC took advantage of their ten-man opposition to secure the maximum points. 

In their last four league games, the White Knights have been effective in front of goal, scoring nine goals from fifteen shots at goal. 

Zamalek are playing with precision and enthusiasm and have lost once in eleven games in all competitions this season. 

The White Knights have won once and lost a game at home in the league this campaign.

Since their (5-2) loss against Al Ahly at the start of the season, Aymen Al Rammadi's men are unbeaten in three games. More recently, in the division, they made a massive statement against Modern Future, scoring four and conceding once. It was a perfect rating for Mohamoud Zalaka, who scored three times and provided an assist in a (4-1) victory for Ceramica. 

Ceramica were one of the strongest sides in the division last campaign but somehow lacked the bite to kill off teams when they ought to, which literally cost them a top-four finish last season. Ceramica are a top side, and with their recent signings, we expect them to finish strong this season. 

Interesting Facts

Zamalek have won nine consecutive games against Ceramica FC. 

The guests have managed one win on the road over their last ten games in all competitions.

Zamalek head into this game in high spirits following their recent victory over Al Masry in the Confederation Cup. They have also been pretty decent in the league but have a stern test ahead of their clash against a dangerous Ceramica FC. The guests are known for their attacking prowess and I’m confident this game will produce more than enough chances.

Total over 2.5 goals (1.88): With the level of attacking options on the pitch, we expect an open encounter with goals at both ends.

Both teams to score (1.71): Ceramica FC will most definitely find the back of the net here, and I’m sure they won’t be able to keep a clean sheet.

Overall, this game promises to be entertaining, and I’d not trust the guests with a win here since Zamalek have never lost a game against them before.

Good luck!
