National Bank of Egypt vs Ceramica Prediction: The guests have a score to settle against their opponent

National Bank of Egypt will face off against Ceramica at the Borg El Arab Stadium on Thursday. Both teams will face off for the second time in fifteen days after National Bank of Egypt thrashed Ceramica (0-5) on their home turf. It's payback time, and I’m confident the guests won’t lose this game. 

National Bank of Egypt

Last five games: LDLDW

Tarek Moustafa's men won their first game of the season, scoring once against Modern Future to cart away the maximum points. 

National Bank of Egypt, who have not been bad this campaign, scored from a penalty kick and defended like a team. Before then, they settled for a share of the spoils against Al Ahly on their home turf, restricting the defending champions to just three shots at goal. National Bank of Egypt have not been favored with their fixtures this season, having already played Zamalek, Pyramids, Al Ahly, Future, and now Ceramica. 

National Bank of Egypt have picked up five points from a possible fifteen, scoring four and conceding six. 

National Bank of Egypt have improved their squad over the transfer window, and they’ve been playing as a team this campaign. 

Ceramica (7th)

Last five games: LWDWD

Bank Al Ahly head here with another decent display, snatching a point against Zamalek on the road. Ceramica are now unbeaten since their (5-2) loss against Al Ahly at the start of the season. Aymen Al Rammadi's men have won twice and lost two games in the league this campaign, as they sit in seventh place on the log. 

Ceramica were one of the strongest sides in the division last campaign but somehow lacked the bite to kill off teams when they ought to, which literally cost them a top-four finish last season. Ceramica are a top side, and with their recent signings, we expect them to finish strong this season.

Interesting Facts

Over their previous ten meetings, Ceramica have won six while National Bank of Egypt have managed two wins and two games ending in a deadlock. 

Up until their meeting last week, where they lost (0-5), Ceramica had won four consecutive matches against National Bank of Egypt. 

Expert Betting Tips

National Bank of Egypt are one of the division's most dangerous teams; their recent match showed that they can manage games properly. However, Ceramica have a score to settle against National Bank of Egypt after they were thrashed (0-5) on their home turf in the Cup game. It was a devastating performance from Ceramica, who were reduced to ten men after twenty-six minutes on the pitch, and National Bank of Egypt pounced on the opportunity. It’s going to be a different game tomorrow, and I’m backing the guests to at least secure a point and score more than a goal for 1.84 as they boost a more balanced side than their opponent.

I expect to see a goal at least at the break for Ceramica, who will likely approach this game aggressively.

This game will likely end in favor of the guests, as we can’t see the hosts go toe to toe against them. 

Good luck!
