Zamalek vs Petrojet Prediction: The home team will not drop points

Al-Salam Stadium Cairo will host the Egyptian Premier League encounter between Zamalek and Petrojet. In their last meeting, Zamalek secured a 2-0 win in this venue. Can Petrojet get a better result here? Below, I preview this game and make predictions. 

Zamalek

Zamalek played Pharco the previous time out and they pulled off a 0-1 win. In that encounter, an own goal by Ahmed Gamal before the break was all this team needed to take maximum points. In the meantime, Zamalek have won three of their last four matches, two against El Gouna and El Ismaily, as they lost to Pyramids in that run. In their last home matches, Zamalek have six consecutive wins, with their last defeat at this venue coming in November. Heading into this game, Zamalek have 26 points from their first 13 matches, leaving them in third place. 

Petrojet

Petrojet are coming off a league defeat against Smouha and they will hope to do better. In a game that ended 0-1, Mohamed Salim's strike in the fourth minute was enough to see this team take maximum points. However, Petrojet have failed to win any of their last three matches, losing to Al Ahly and drawing with Al Ittihad. Away from home, Petrojet have won three, drawn one, and lost one of their last five matches. This season, Petrojet have 17 points from their first 13 matches, leaving them seated in 9th place.

Zamalek are not that consistent, but they have been exciting lately. At home, I expect more from Zamalek, following consecutive victories. On the Petrojet, I feel Petrojet will have a struggling performance, considering their performances against top opponents. Also, with the two teams expected to be decent defensively, a bet on a few goals is another option to consider.

Our last option is both teams to score no with odds at 1.75 on Betway
