Al Ittihad vs ZED FC Prediction: I expect a low-scoring game

Alexandria Stadium will host the Egyptian Premier League game between Al Ittihad and ZED FC. The last meeting between these two teams ended in a goalless draw. Will there be a winner in this one? Below, I will preview this game and make predictions. 

Al Ittihad

Al Ittihad's last league game was against Team FC in the Egypt Cup 1/16, and they lost. In a game where they were heavily favoured, Ali Amr's brace in the first half was enough to see their opponent secure a spot in the next round. In their last league game, this team also lost 2-0 away from home to Zamalek in round seven. In fact, Al Ittihad have failed to pick a win in any of their last seven games, with their best results being draws in three games. Al Ittihad sit 10th in the league standings heading into this game, scoring three goals and conceding four. 

ZED FC

ZED FC are coming off an Egyptian League cup win over ZED FC, which ended 3-1. In that encounter, ZED FC needed two goals in the second half to move to the next stage, having been held to a 1-1 at halftime. In the meantime, ZED FC's last league game saw them draw newly promoted Petrojet in a 1-1 encounter. However, the visiting team remain unbeaten in their last four games, drawing two and winning two. This season, ZED FC have ten points from seven games, scoring five goals and conceding three.

Expert Betting Tips

These two teams are not having things easy in the league, but their performances are not far below par. While looking at the level of these two teams, I will focus on their poor attacking level, as I believe they will once again be defensive. Also, their past meetings have always been competitive; this season, they are playing almost at the same level in the league. This should be a dull game, and we might fail to witness any side celebrating a goal. I expect a goalless draw at the end of full time here.
