El Daklyeh vs Baladiyat El Mahalla Prediction: Home team league experience will be vital

El Daklyeh and Baladiyat El Mahalla are competing against each other in an Egyptian Premier League match at Al-Salam Stadium in Cairo, which is the location of the action. First things first, let's discuss the match previews, and then we'll make a prediction.

El Dakhleya will aim to avoid a repeat of their last result, having suffered a 2-0 loss in their previous Premier League game against El Gouna. Ahmed Belhadji opened the scoring in the 21st minute, followed by Gabriel Chukwudi sealing the win just two minutes later. Heading into this match, El Dakhleya has encountered a challenging period, losing four of their last five matches, with only one draw in that span. Their attacking performance has been lackluster, managing to score only 3 goals in their last 6 outings, while conceding 11 goals during the same period. The team will likely be seeking a turnaround in form to improve their recent results.

Baladiyyat El Mehalla approaches this match with a mixed recent performance. They secured victories against Arab Contractors and Pharco but experienced a loss to Smouha, along with draws against ZED and Al Ittihad. In these five matches, the away team scored 10 goals and conceded 9. In their away games specifically, Baladiyyat El Mehalla averaged 2 goals per match while conceding 1.8. The team has received 12 yellow cards and 2 red cards, with a total of 85 fouls committed. Baladiyyat El Mehalla holds an average team rating of 6.8 per match. Notably, their ball possession has been solid, averaging 51.40% overall in this season.

The home team's performance this season has been below par, but facing a newly promoted El Mahalla side that hasn't been performing well could serve as a boost for them. Considering this, along with the expectation of both teams scoring in the match, I am backing the home team to secure a victory.
