Zamalek vs El Daklyeh Prediction: The White Knights will run riot here

On Thursday, the White Knights will square off with El Daklyeh at the Cairo International Stadium. The home side suffered a shocking defeat on the road against the newly promoted side, and we can all but feel for the newly promoted El Daklyeh.

Last five games: WWDWL

Jesualdo Ferreira's side's unbeaten runs ended as they were beaten by Aswan FC. The newly promoted team totally outclassed the champions on the road. Aswan were gifted a goal when Mohamed Abdelghani scored in his own half, and the home side doubled their lead before a consolation goal from Hossam as it ended in a (2-1) defeat. Zamalek have scored the most goals (21) in this campaign but are three points behind their arch-rival Al Ahly.

Zamalek have won four and drawn once in the last five home games.

The newly promoted side's highlight of the season was the win over Pyramids FC. El Daklyeh has conceded twelve times while scoring five goals. They always play attractive football but are ineffective in front of the goal. They stood their ground against an ENPPI but were beaten at home by Al Masry. Dakhleya FC are fully aware of the quality required in the premier league and have signed an experienced coach Reda Shehata.

El Daklyeh haven’t won away at home and have drawn three and lost two in the last five away games.

The last fourteen meetings ended in twelve wins for Zamalek, while two games finished in a draw. The previous seven games ended in over 2.5 goals, with Zamalek winning all. The White Knights are devastated by their tasteless performance against Aswan, and they will go all out to win and score more than once for 1.70.

We expect a total of over 2.5 goals to surface here for 2.00.

We also believe the home side might secure a halftime win here for 1.80.

Good luck!
