ZED vs El Ismaily Prediction: Both teams expected to find the back of the net here

At the Cairo Military Academy Stadium, ZED will play El Ismaily in their first match since returning to the Egyptian top-flight league. El Ismaily can't wait to pick up where they left off in the previous season, while ZED will be looking to open their season with a victory in this match.

ZED - hoping for an incredible season start

ZED had a fantastic year in Egyptian Division 2, completing the season on top of the rankings with 65 points after competing in 30 matches. This was 10 points more than their nearest competitor, Wadi Degla, who finished second in the standings. During that particular year, the home team finished with the most goals scored (44), making them the top scorers in the league, while also finishing with the fewest goals allowed (19). The host team, on the other hand, is currently riding a winning streak of five games, with victories coming against Kahrabaa Ismailia, Telecom Egypt, Suez SC, Wadi Degla, and Al-Sekka before this opening match of the Egyptian Premier League. However, it is important to point out that ZED has not lost a single match since their round 4 encounter against Al Qanah in the Egypt Division 2 in a match that finished 2-3, whereas they have played as many as 26 matches following that loss.

El Ismaily - visiting team must be at their best

El Ismaily will go into this match hoping that they can continue where they left off from the previous season, which was earning consecutive victories over El Daklyeh and Al Ittihad in matches that concluded with scores of 0-1, and 1-4, respectively. Despite this, those victories were the only ones they had in the previous five matches they played in. However, this visiting side will go against a newly promoted team that just finished their league atop their standings. After finishing their 2022/2023 Egyptian Premier League campaign with 40 points from 34 matches, it is now necessary for this team to be at their best, to do better, to demonstrate character, and to approach this match with the greatest strategy in order for them to gain a win in this opener.

Expert Betting Tips

Both teams have a lot riding on this match, since the manner in which they play on the opening day of the season will tell us a lot about how they will play throughout the rest of the season. The performance level of ZED is just too good to overlook, especially when combined with the fact that they will be playing on their own soil. El Ismaily may have a good understanding of the top-tier league; nonetheless, ZED is just too brilliant to ignore. Due to the fact that both sides have been performing at a high level, there is no other reasonable outcome for this match except a tie score of 1-1.
