On Thursday, November 7, Al Ittihad will host Haras in the 2nd round of the Egyptian Super League. My suggested bet is on the home team to win.
Match Facts and Head-to-Head History
- Al Ittihad has not won any of their last 8 home matches across all competitions.
- Haras has won only 2 of their last 10 Premier League matches.
- Haras has failed to win against Al Ittihad in their last 10 encounters.
- Out of 31 matches between these teams, Al Ittihad leads with 12 wins to Haras's 8.
Match Preview
Al Ittihad started last season strong, consistently positioned among the top teams. However, they faltered in the final stretch, finishing in 11th place with 41 points. They also led the league in draws, with 14 across the season. This new season has started positively for Al Ittihad, with a narrow 1-0 away win against Pharco. In that match, they were the dominant side, taking 12 shots to Pharco’s 4.
Notably, Al Ittihad was very active in the transfer market, bringing in 18 new players before the season began.
Haras is a newcomer to the Premier League, finishing third in the Second Division last season with a narrow 1-point margin over their closest competitor, earning them promotion after a one-year absence. Haras is considered one of the primary relegation candidates this season, with limited squad depth and one of the smallest budgets in the league. Unsurprisingly, they suffered a heavy defeat at home to Smouha in the opening round.
Possible Lineups
- Al Ittihad: Soliman, Metwali, El Dib, Moro, Shabana, Ibrahim, Dawood, Boateng, Apeh, Ghani Mohamed, Bekale Aubame.
- Haras: El Zanfali, El Degemy, Emad, Abu Salima, Ehab Samir, Eze, Sayed Okaa, Ashraf Roqa, Abu Gouda, Karidioula, Mamdouh.
Al Ittihad vs Haras prediction
Al Ittihad's home win drought makes Haras an ideal opponent to break this streak. My bet is on a home victory.
