Al Ittihad vs Al-Sekka Prediction: Bet on the home team

The action of the Egypt Cup now shifts to the Alexandria Stadium, where Al Ittihad will face Al-Sekka in round 1/16 of the competition.

Al Ittihad - LLWDW

Although Al Ittihad have not been playing at their best lately, the home team played quite well in their most recent match against Enppi to return to winning ways. An own goal by Ahmed Ibrahim, a goal scored by Agostinho Mabululu in the 68th minute, and a goal scored by Ahmed Elkalamy in the 71st minute helped Al Ittihad come from behind to score three goals within eight minutes in the second half of a match that concluded in a dramatic five-goal thriller. Although they have also allowed seven goals in their last five matches, Al Ittihad have managed to find the back of the net eight times.

Al-Sekka - WLWLW

The performances of Al-Sekka have been all over the place, but their victory over Al Nasr this past weekend will most certainly serve to bolster their self-assurance. Al-Sekka have done exceptionally well this season in Egypt Division 2, as seen by the fact that they are only one point behind the team that is in first place, ZED. In spite of this, this match will be a difficult test for them because they will have to compete head-to-head against a formidable opponent. On the other hand, we anticipate that the away team will keep their cool throughout this encounter, do their absolute best, and offer a performance that is in the top tier.

Head-Head Statistics

The only time that Al-Sekka has ever competed against Al Ittihad came in the 1/16 round of the Egypt Cup in 2016. In spite of this, Al Ittihad emerged victorious in the game with a 3-1 final score.

Expert Betting Tips

Because we think this is going to be a close competition between the two teams, we anticipate that both of them will play their best. In spite of this, we are of the opinion that Al Ittihad, in comparison to Al-Sekka, possesses much greater potential and a higher-quality team. As a consequence of this, we anticipate a match in which both teams have a good opportunity to score but which ultimately ends in Al Ittihad's favor.
