Al Ittihad vs El Daklyeh Prediction: Al Ittihad to take advantage of struggling Daklyeh

Alexandria Stadium will host the Egyptian Premier League encounter between Al Ittihad and El Daklyeh. Al Ittihad won the last game of this fixture. How will this game end?

Al Ittihad

Al Ittihad ended on the losing end in their game against Pharco, and in this game, they will hope for a win performance. However, recent games have not ended in favor of Al Ittihad, as they are on a winless run of six games. In that run, Al Ittihad lost to Smouha, Zamalek, Abu Qir Semad, and Ahly, while they drew ZED FC. This season in the Egyptian Premier League, Al Ittihad have 36 points accumulated from 27 matches, positioning them 9th in the standings.

El Daklyeh

El Daklyeh are coming off a win against ZED FC, a game that ended 1-0. However, prior games to that win saw El Daklyeh go three matches without a win, losing to Al Ahly, Smouha, and ZED FC. However, a look at El Daklyeh's last five games also saw them pick one other win over Arab Contractors, a game that ended 3-0. In the Egyptian Premier League this season, El Daklyeh have just 18 points in 27 matches, positioning them bottom spot of the league standings. 

Analysis and Prediction

The two teams have struggled so much to this stage of the season, and I do not trust them in this encounter. However, Al Ittihad have been the better side in this fixture, and I am backing them to win. Also, while this fixture has ended with few goals, a similar result is expected here.
