After triumphing over a solid Ceramica side, Ismaily have a stern test ahead of their clash against Zamalek at the Ismailia Stadium on Monday. The home team are without a clean sheet in their previous fourteen meetings against Zamalek. Brace yourself as we expect an end-to-end encounter between both sides.

The Darawish played one of their best games this season when they defeated Ceramica (2-1) on their ground. The victory ended their two games without a win. Ismaily stunned the aggressive visitors twice before the break, while Ceramica were able to respond once with a man down. 

The Darawish side used to be a top side in the Egyptian League, but they have been below par in recent seasons. Ismaily have conceded fifteen times this season and have scored ten goals. Ismaily sit in the 15th spot on the log, picking up twenty-one points from a combined thirty-three points.

Ismaily have won three and lost two times at home in the league this season.

The White Knights have had their ups and downs this season and have been below their standard in recent months. This season, there was a massive shake-up in the team's management as they installed a new tactician and laid off some players. Former Reading FC, Almeria, and Maritimo coach will lead Zamalek for the remainder of the season. 

Zamalek spent their break playing friendly games to keep them in shape for the remainder of the campaign. Their most recent match ended in a (1-0) loss against Al Masry on the road. Zamalek have won twice, drawn a game, and lost two in their last five games on the road.

Over their previous twenty meetings, Ismaily have won five while Zamalek have recorded thirteen wins and two games ending in a tie. The visitors have invested heavily during winter and almost signed an entire team. They have a new coach who would love to start on a good note. At the same time, Ismaily did the unusual in their most recent game, with a surprise (2-1) victory over ten men Ceramica. They are sky-high in confidence and will be willing to maintain the momentum.

The hosts are missing two of their best players; however, they seem to be playing as a unit and are well-coordinated. Except for unforeseen circumstances, this game is expected to produce a junk of goals. We are backing a BTTS and over 2.5 goals for 2.23.

This game will surely end with both teams scoring 1.86.

Zamalek have a decent record against their opponent, and we think they might secure the maximum points here for 1.96.

Good luck!
