National Bank of Egypt vs Zamalek Prediction: Bet on the away team

The upcoming match in the Egyptian Premier League will witness a face-off between the National Bank of Egypt and Zamalek at the Petrosport Stadium. Prior to this match, the host team suffered a loss in the league against Pyramids, while Zamalek achieved a decisive victory over AS Arta in the CAF Confederation Cup.

After suffering a 0-1 loss to the Pyramids in their previous Premier League match, National Bank of Egypt will be looking to get back on track here in the hopes of regaining their winning ways. Ayman Ashraf's goal came in the 69th minute of that contest. In five of the last six matches that the National Bank of Egypt has been a part of, the total number of goals scored was lower than three per match on average. During that time frame, the National Bank of Egypt scored one goal, while the other teams only managed to score six goals between them.

Zamalek comes into this match having won two of their most recent five matches against El Seka El Hadid and AS Arta, lost one of those matches against Al Ahly, and drawn three of their most recent matchups against Pyramids FC and Al Mokawloon. During that time span, the visiting team scored six goals but allowed twelve goals against them. The average number of goals scored and allowed by Zamalek in their away games was 1.5 and 1.5, respectively. There were 9 yellow cards and 1 red card handed out to the squad, while there were a total of 29 fouls committed by both teams. The team rating that Zamalek receives on average is 6.81 points per game. The percentage of time that Zamalek spends with the ball in their own half during games this season is below average, at 49.00%.

In the previous five encounters, Zamalek emerged victorious in three instances, whereas the National Bank of Egypt secured a win in one encounter, with the remaining match resulting in a tie. During those encounters, Zamalek managed to score a total of five goals, while their opponents also scored five goals.

Similar to their prior encounters, this forthcoming competition is anticipated to be a formidable challenge for both teams involved. However, it is anticipated that the National Bank of Egypt will place significant emphasis on adopting a defensive strategy in this context, as the home team will undoubtedly prioritize achieving a draw outcome. In the interim, considering Zamalek's consistent ability to effectively organize their offensive strategies, I predict a victory of 1-0 in their favor in this away match.
