Ceramica vs Al Masry Prediction: We anticipate an open encounter with goals at both ends

After three games without a clean sheet and a win, Ceremica can’t put a foot wrong in this highly contested match against Al Ittihad at the Arab Contractors Stadium on Thursday. This is one game that the hosts can’t afford to lose, especially on their home turf. 

Last five games: WWLDD

Ceramica failed to pick up the maximum points for the second consecutive game. They fought tooth and nail to split points on their ground. Aymen Al Rammadi's men have not won any of their last three games, but they are heading here with another share of the spoils against Al Masry. Ceramica have been inconsistent this season, with two wins, a defeat, and two share of the spoils over their last five matches. Aymen Al Rammadi's men are one of the strongest sides in the division but somehow lack the bite to kill off teams when they have the opportunity. 

Ceramica have picked up twenty-three points from a combined forty-eight, scoring twenty-six while conceding eighteen. They have won four, lost once, and drawn three games on their ground this season. 

Last five games: DWDWL

The Thagher's Leaders lost for the first time in five games as they were totally manhandled by Zamalek. They created two big chances and missed them both, while the hosts converted two of their four chances. They suffered a (3-0) defeat away from home, ending their back-to-back victories away from home. The defeat ended Angola point man Mabululu scoring spray as his side were indecisive in front of the goal. 

Al Ittihad are fourth on the log, five points below the league leader, Pyramids. They have won four and drawn once, and lost three over their previous eight away games. 

Over their previous ten meetings, Ceramica have won four while Al Ittihad have recorded two wins and four matches ending in a tie. Ceramica play one of the best football in the league, but beautiful football doesn’t win games. They need to be more aggressive and be more pragmatic in front of goal. They’ll face off against a side who’ll take their chances if need be. Even though the visitors have been excellent, they are yet to register a win against Ceramica on their ground before. To be on the safe side, bet on a home win or draw and over 1.5 goals.

Al Ittihad will definitely create chances and will likely get a goal here; bet on BTTS for 1.86.

We expect more than two goals here for 2.06.

Good luck!
