Ismaily vs Pyramids Prediction: The home side are extremely weak at the back

Ismaily will fight for their second win of the season when they square off against Pyramids at the Ismailia Stadium on Saturday. The hosts will hope for a better outing this time, having played twice without a breakthrough, while the guests will be keen to add more salt to Ismaily's injury. 

Ismaily

Last four games: DLWL

The Drawish side have started the season poorly, heading here with a win over their previous four league starts. Nothing has really changed about one of the oldest teams in the division Aa’s; they continue to struggle. More recently, they suffered a slim (1-0) loss against ENPPI after missing two penalty kicks. It was a disappointing defeat for Ismaily, who at least deserved a point in a game they were presented with two spot kicks. They failed in their attempt to secure a back-to-back victory in the division.

Ismail have managed one win since their last sixteen league matches and picked up four points from a combined twelve this campaign. 

Ismaily have failed to improve their squad this season and we think they’ll suffer this campaign. Ismaily are unbeaten over thrir last two games at home this season. 

Pyramids FC

Last four matches: DWWL

Krunoslav Jurcic's men bowed to their first league defeat of the season as they were narrowly beaten by Al Masry. Pyramids were denied the opportunity to play in the manner they used to, as they were restricted to just two shots at goal. They conceded once against their opponent, which was enough to hand them their first loss this season. 

They have now scored in eight of their last nine league matches and are one of the favourites to challenge for the title this season. 

Pyramids have picked up seven points from a combined twelve and have not kept a clean sheet in four consecutive league matches. 

Interesting Facts

Over their previous seventeen meetings, Pyramids have won ten, while Isamily have managed four wins and three games ending in a tie. 

Pyramids have won six consecutive matches against Ismaily. 

Expert Betting Tips

Pyramids have not replicated last season's form, and with their recent league loss against Al Masry, a win over Ismaily here is non-negotiable. Pyramids are one of the favourites to win the league this season, and games of this calibre are meant to be won if they are to really challenge. On the other hand, Ismaily didn’t really sign any top players during the transfer window, and they lack the quality to compete with the top guns this season. 

I’ll back the guests to win and score more than a goal (2.08): Pyramids have had a decent run against Ismaily, and their attack looks more than capable of breaching their opponents' defence. 

I also think this game will produce more than two goals as Ismaily will face one of their toughest tests since the start of the campaign.

Pyramids might even get a goal before the break for 1.81.

Good luck!
