Al Ittihad vs Ismaily Prediction: The hosts won't lose this matchup

On Monday, Al Ittihad will face off against Ismaily FC at the Alexandria Stadium. The hosts have been in decent condition this season but head here without a win over their last two games. At the same time, the visitors march here with a win in their previous six matches. 

Al Ittihad (3rd)

Last five games: WDWLD

The Thagher's Leaders held their ground against a strong Ceramica side as they secured a point away from home. The (1-1) stalemate was a good result, considering they played against a very tough opponent. Tarek El Ashry has done a great job arriving, and maybe he’ll lead his side to the continental tournament. 

Al Ittihad are third on the log with four points below the league leader, Pyramids. They have won three and drawn five over their previous nine home games. 

Ismaily (15th)

Last five games: LDWDL

The Darawish have been unstable lately and have managed a win over their previous seven games. They have been playing well but have not been getting the results they deserve. For the fourth time this season, they suffered a home defeat as they were beaten by Zed FC. They were totally outnumbered by the visitors, who created four big chances while they failed to make any meaningful opportunities. The result came after their stalemate against Future FC on their ground. Isamily dropped to 15th place on the log and are now six points above the relegation zone. Ismaily used to be at the top of the Egyptian League, but they have been below par in recent seasons. Ismaily have conceded twenty-one times this season and have scored seventeen goals.

Ismaily have drawn four and lost four on the road this season. 

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous twenty meetings, Al Itihad have won seven while Ismaily have recorded nine victories and four games ending in a tie. The visitors have been underperforming since the start of the season, although they are unbeaten over their previous three games on the road. You can hardly tell what sort of performance to expect from them. At the same time, the hosts have been decent on their ground even though they've drawn their last three games at home. Their previous three meetings have produced a BTTS; however, we expect the hosts to be stronger than their opponent, who are yet to register a win away from home this season. We can’t equally rely on the home side, but a win or draw and over 1.5 goals is possible here for 2.03.

We also think the hosts will win either half since they’re unbeaten on their ground this season.

The visitors will likely get a goal here; bet on BTTS for 1.92.

Good luck!
