Zamalek to record a comfortable win over Al Ittihad
Zamalek SC vs Ittihad Alexandria - 05/06/2023
5156
On Monday evening, Zamalek hosts Al Ittihad at the Cairo International Stadium as the home side looks to move up the Egyptian Premier League table.
The home team is currently in fourth place in the table, which would see them play in the CAF Confederations Cup next season.
Mathematically they could still finish in second place, as they are eight points behind second-place Pyramids. However, that seems unlikely, with just three rounds of games remaining.
Zamalek has a decent recent record in the Egyptian top flight, as they have won five of their previous eight matches in the league, having suffered just one defeat in the run.
The home team has played well on home soil lately, as they are unbeaten in five league games at the Cairo International Stadium, having recorded four wins.
Juan Carlos Osorio’s team has also kept clean sheets in four of their previous five home games.
With a game in hand on the home team, Al Ittihad could still catch their hosts, who are tenth points clear of them in the table. However, realistically the visitors have very little to play for this season in the Egyptian Premier League.
A four-game winless league run, including three straight defeats, have hampered their top-four hopes this season. Last time out in the Premier League, they suffered a 2-1 defeat by Pyramids.
Al Ittihad has a poor recent away record in the Egyptian Premier League, as they are winless in their previous four league matches on their travels, having suffered three defeats in the poor away run.
A factor in their poor recent away form in the Egyptian top flight has been a lack of goals, as they have failed to score in three of their last four away matches.
