Zamalek SC vs Ismaily Prediction: The hosts are the closest to securing the maximum points here

With just four games to wrap up this campaign, Ismaily will be determined to pull a surprise stunt against a solid Zamalek at the Cairo International Stadium on Sunday. The White Knights march here with a below-par performance against Pharco on the road, and we expect them to readjust against their opponent here. 

Last five games: LWLWD

The White Knights head here after failing to create meaningful chances against Pharco on the road. Zizo opened the scoring chart with a penalty kick in the 28th minute, but the hosts pulled one back just before the break. Zamalek, who pulled off a deserved victory over Ceramica at home, couldn’t secure the maximum point away from home. 

The CAF Confederation Cup winner cannot win the league again this season as they trail the league leaders by thirty-five points with three outstanding games. The White Knights continue to impress under coach Jose Manuel Gomes, and they’ll be keen to maintain their momentum here. Zamalek have won seven, drawn twice, and lost twice in their last ten games at home.

The Darawish suffered a back-to-back defeat for the since October last year as they were beaten by Ceramica away from home. They have been hit by injuries and have failed to score in their previous two matches. Despite dominating the encounter and having 54% of the ball, Ismaily were unable to convert their chances. Ismaily used to be at the top of the Egyptian League, but they have been below par in recent seasons. Ismaily have conceded thirty-three times this season and scored twenty-eight goals. Ismaily sit in the 12th spot on the log, picking up thirty-one points from a combined eighty-seven points. 

Ismaily have won two, drawn seven, and lost five on the road this season. 

Over their previous twenty meetings, Zamalek have won thirteen, while Ismaily have recorded four wins and three games ending in a tie. Ismaily have now gone two consecutive games without a victory for the first time since last year. They also failed to find the back of the net in both matches. At the same time, Zamalek were below par in their previous game against Pharco on the road, and they’ll be keen to make adjustments against their opponent at home. 

The hosts have had a decent run against Ismaily in recent meetings, and we expect them to put up a decent performance here. 

We expect the hosts to get a halftime victory against the guests for 2.10.

We expect to see a total of under 2.5 goals in this game for 1.86.

Good luck!
