One of the matches of the 14th round of the Egyptian Premier League will be played on Sunday at the "Burg El Arab" stadium in Alexandria, where local Ismaily will host Al-Ahly. We suggest betting on the total number of goals in this match with a good coefficient.
Match Preview
Ismaily had a poor start to the new Premier League season and is currently in 14th place in the standings. The team is already five points behind the top nine, and something needs to be done to improve the current results, as Ismaily has lost four of the last five matches.
In the most recent matchday of the Egyptian Premier League, Ismaily lost 0-2 away to El-Gouna. In six home matches, Ismaily has secured just two victories and one defeat, which came in their last home game.
On the other hand, Al-Ahly is fighting to retain the championship title. The team currently occupies second place in the standings, trailing Pyramids by just one point. All the title race is ahead for the "Red Devils."
Al-Ahly comes into the match after a 1-0 home win against Ghazl El-Mahalla, which marked their third consecutive victory in the Egyptian league. Overall, the "Red Devils" are unbeaten this season, having recorded 8 wins in 13 matches.
