The home team are doing well in the league after neglecting their CAF Confederation disappointing outing which saw them fail to qualify from the group stage. They are undefeated in their last five matches and regained the top spot despite their average performance against Pharco, they shared the spoils in a toothless(0-0) encounter.

The conflict at the top of the table is getting heated and they need to get a win here to keep the pressure on Al Ahly who are on the Continental duties.

Zamalek are the most in-form team in the league, having picked up thirteen points from a possible fifteen, however, they have only lost once away from home this season winning six in the last seven matches.

In the previous 20 matches, Zamalek won fifteen while Al Ittihad also defeated Zamalek three times and two matches ended in a draw.

Zamalek's last two games have been abysmal with just a goal against two average teams, coach Manuel Jesualdo Ferreira needs to change his team's tactical approach, and take advantage of not participating in the Continental competition to claim the league.

We believe Zamalek would have learned their lesson and would go for all the points against Al Ittihad, bet on Zamalek and over 1.5 for 2.16.

The home team have managed to score at home in their last five matches, so it's worth the risk to bet on BTTS for 1.90.
