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

In this highly competitive game, Zamalek will face off against Ismaily SC on Friday at the Cairo International Stadium. The White Knights have dominated this fixture over the years, and after their heavy loss against Pyramids FC, they can’t afford to lose back-to-back games. 

Zamalek SC (3rd)

Last five matches: WWLWL

The White Knights have been inconsistent lately, as they suffered their second loss in three games. Zamalek SC were totally overpowered by a solid Pyramids FC side on the road, conceding three times without a response for the first time in the league since January 2023. This was after their exceptional (4-1) victory over El Gouna on their home turf. 

In their last eleven league games, the White Knights have been effective in front of goal, scoring twenty-one goals and conceding thirteen. Zamalek are playing with precision and enthusiasm this campaign and have lost twice across fourteen games in all competitions this season. 

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

Ismaily SC (14th)

Last five games: WLWLL

The Drawish side suffered their fifth defeat of the season as they were overwhelmed by El Gaish in front of their home supporters. Ismaily, who started strong against their opponent and won at the break, conceded twice in the second half in a (1-2) loss. It came after their slim (1-0) defeat against Al Ittihad on the road. 

Ismaily have started the season poorly, heading here with just three wins over their previous eleven league starts. Nothing has really changed about one of the oldest teams in the division as they continue to struggle. Ismail have managed three victories since their last twenty-three league matches and picked up twelve points from a combined thirty-three this campaign. 

Ismaily have failed to improve their squad this window and we think they’ll suffer this campaign. Ismaily have lost four and won once on the road this season.

Interesting Facts

Expert Betting Tips

The White Knights have been craving for a better defence lately, and getting exposed in their game against Pyramids FC made them explore the transfer market. Zamalek have acquired the services of Ahmed Hossam, Mohamed Gehad and Salah Moussadak to bolster their defence. They’ll be keen to respond positively here after their loss against Pyramids FC and I think Zamalek will secure all the points and score more than once for 1.90 at (1xbet).

Zamalek have dominated this fixture over the years and we expect them to maintain such a record against a below-par Ismaily SC team; bet on a home win before the break for 2.09 at (Bet365).
