Ceramica vs Ismaily Prediction: The hosts will avoid a back to back defeats

Having won just once over their last five matches, Ceramica will be keen to return to winning ways when they face off against Ismaily at the Arab Contractors Stadium on Wednesday.

Ceramica (8th)

Last five games: LLLWL

The hosts failed to maintain their momentum against Zamalek as they were heavily defeated. Ceramica conceded four goals in a game for the first time since 2022. It was a show of shame for Aymen Al Rammadi's men, who left Cairo with nothing. 

Ceramica have kept a clean sheet in their last five league matches, and they must be disciplined to not concede here. Aymen Al Rammadi's men have been inconsistent lately, marching here with a win and four defeats over their last five matches. 

Ceramica are one of the strongest sides in the division but somehow lack the bite to kill off teams when they have the opportunity. 

Ceramica have picked up thirty-seven points from a combined eighty-one, scoring forty-two while conceding thirty-four. They have won six, lost twice, and drawn five games on their ground this season. 

Ismaily (12th)

After three undefeated runs, the Darawish suffered a defeat on their ground. Despite dominating the encounter and having 63% of the ball, Ismaily were unable to convert their chances. They fired seventeen shots at goal and had four shots on target but lost by a goal to nil at home.

Ismaily used to be at the top of the Egyptian League, but they have been below par in recent seasons. Ismaily have conceded thirty-two times this season and scored twenty-eight goals. Ismaily sit in the 12th spot on the log, picking up thirty-one points from a combined eighty-four points. 

Ismaily have won two, drawn seven, and lost four on the road this season.
