Arab Contractors vs National Bank of Egypt Prediction: Expect goals from both sides

The third round of the Egypt League Cup will be held at Arab Contractors Stadium, showcasing a match between Arab Contractors and National Bank of Egypt. Having secured only one point each in their initial two matches in this competition, the question arises: will there be a decisive winner in this encounter, or will a draw be satisfactory for both teams?

Arab Contractors recently played to a 1-1 draw against El Gouna in the second round of the Egypt League Cup. The first half concluded with a goalless draw, and the only noteworthy events were yellow cards for both teams. However, the second half proved to be more dynamic and offensive. In the 59th minute, Ahmed Shousha scored from the penalty spot, giving El Gouna the lead. Yet, Arab Contractors swiftly responded, leveling the scores just three minutes later with Ziad Farag's precise shot finding the back of the net. Notably, Arab Contractors haven't secured a victory in their last three matches, experiencing two defeats and settling for a draw according to the current statistics.

National Bank of Egypt recently secured a 2-2 draw against Al Masry in the ongoing competition. During the match, National Bank of Egypt twice rallied from behind, earning one point through a goal by Mohamed Grendo and an own goal by Ahmed Mansour, which nullified Al Masry's leads. Examining their recent matches, the team has managed only two victories, defeating Baladiyat El Mahalla and Arab Contractors with scores of 0-2 and 3-1, respectively. However, they faced defeats in two matches against El Gouna, concluding in 2-3 and 3-1 scores.

Both teams enter this upcoming competition matchup with just one point out of a possible six. Securing a win is crucial for both sides, significantly enhancing their prospects for progressing to the next round of the competition. Anticipating an offensive performance from both teams, a bet on both teams scoring seems favorable, especially considering that each of their last four meetings has concluded with this scoreline. Additionally, the visiting side appears more dependable heading into this match, and I predict them to secure the victory as well.
