Zamalek to maintain lead at the top with win over Ismaily
Zamalek SC vs Ismaily SC - 28/05/2022
2121
On Friday evening, Egyptian Premier League leaders Zamalek host Ismaily at the Cairo International Stadium as the home team looks to maintain their lead at the top of the table.
Zamalek
The Egyptian champions are just two points clear at the top of the table after a slightly inconsistent run of form of late. A 2-1 home win over Aswan last time out ended a two-game losing streak for the home team in the Egyptian top-flight.
The aforementioned back-to-back defeats were relatively rare, as they have lost just three of their last 16 matches in the Premier League.
Zamalek’s recent home record is inconsistent, as they have won just four of the last nine matches on home soil in the Egyptian top-flight. Those recent back-to-back defeats were in their previous two home games in the league.
Their most recent home games have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four matches in the Premier League.
Ismaily
The visitors are currently in 16th place in the table, occupying the final relegation berth in the Standings. However, they are level on points with the two teams above them, Arab Contractors and El Gouna.
Ismaily heads into this game on the back of a three-game unbeaten run in the Egyptian top-flight, having recorded two wins and a draw. Last time out, the National Bank of Egypt held them to a 2-2 draw. The game continued a high-scoring trend for Ismaily, as it saw the visitors score at least two goals for the third straight league match.
Although Ismaily has won two of their last three away games in the league, their record of two wins in their previous nine outings on their league travels is a poor one.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Zamalek will maintain their lead at the top of the table by recording a narrow victory in a low-scoring encounter.
