El Ismaily vs Al Ittihad Prediction: Both teams will not fail to score

At the Borg El Arab Stadium, the second game of the Egyptian Premier League will feature a matchup between El Ismaily and Al Ittihad. While Al Ittihad won their opening match of the season at home against Ceramica Cleopatra, the home team suffered a defeat at the hands of newly promoted ZED.

El Ismaily - home team hoping to correct things here

After suffering a defeat against ZED in their most recent Premier League match, El Ismaily won't want a recurrence of the outcome they got there, which was a 1-0 loss. All that was necessary to send El Ismaily home with a loss was the goal Mostafa Saad scored for ZED in the 25th minute of that game. In five out of the last six matches that El Ismaily has been a part of, the average number of goals scored was less than three. Regarding the goal differential during that time frame, their rivals scored a total of five goals, while Ismaily was responsible for six of his team's tallies. The home team is currently in 14th place in the Egyptian Premier League with no points to their name.

Al Ittihad - visiting side need to be at top level again

In their most recent match, Al Ittihad prevailed against Ceramica Cleopatra 1-0 in the Premier League, and they come into this game riding high on that victory. Mabululu was the only player from Al Ittihad to get his name on the scoresheet, which he did in the 31st minute. It is already common knowledge that Al Ittihad have failed to score in any of their last six matches, resulting in a disappointing return of only four goals scored overall. In addition, Master of the Country have been subjected to an aggregate total of eight goals scored against them in those contests. Al Ittihad has three points and is currently in seventh place in the standings of the Egyptian Premier League heading into this match.

Expert Betting Tips

Both teams will undoubtedly have one goal in mind throughout this contest, which promises to be a very intense one, and that will be to take all three points here. Keeping this in mind, as well as the results of their prior encounters, leads me to believe that there will be a lot of attacking play today; hence, I will be betting on goals. Also, despite the fact that the away team is the superior one, I won't be so eager to choose them as the victor of this match given that they will be competing away from home. However, the performance that El Ismaily turned in during the first game of the league is not promising, and as a result, I will bet on the away team to win.
