Zamalek SC vs Al Ittihad Prediction: I expect a decent display from White Knights here

Zamalek will face off against Al Ittihad at the Cairo International Stadium on Sunday in this highly competitive game. New German coach Christian Gross is yet to secure his first win as Zamalek manager and can’t afford to drop points against Al Ittihad. The White Knights have won three consecutive games against the guests and are unbeaten in twelve meetings. 

Zamalek SC (1st)

Last five matches: WLWDD

The White Knights are yet to register a win in their last three league matches. Zamalek SC settled for a (2-2) share of the spoils against a tough El Gaish side even though they were leading at the break. It was not a perfect performance, but they were pretty solid, and I think they deserved more than just being a point away from home. 

In their last six league games, the White Knights have been effective in front of goal, scoring twelve goals from twenty-one shots at goal. 

Zamalek are playing with precision and enthusiasm and have lost once in twelve games in all competitions this season. 

The White Knights have drawn a game, won once, and lost a game at home in the league this campaign.

Al Ittihad (7th)

Last five games: WDLDD

Nikodimos's men have been unable to win any of their last four games in all competitions, failing to find the back of the net in those matches. Al Ittihad settled for a toothless stalemate on the road against Modern Future just after the tie against El Mahalla on the road. 

Al Ittihad have picked up nine points from a combined eighteen, scoring three and conceding twice. 

Nikodimos' men have managed one win in over nine matches on the road.

Expert Betting Tips

The White Knights were gutted to have settled for a tie against El Gaish on the road. Zamalek, who have now gone two games without a breakthrough, can’t afford to drop points here. Al Ittihad on the other hand, have been solid defensively and have conceded just two times in six matches. They played 360 minutes without finding the back of the net, and knowing Zamalek's defense, they could score here.

Zamalek SC are heads and shoulders above the guests, and considering their recent run against Al Ittihad, we expect them to secure all the points here for 1.75.

I also think the hosts will get a goal before the break for 1.85.

Zamalek SC might even score in both halves here for 2.95.

Good luck!
