Match Preview
National Bank of Egypt had a disappointing start to the new Premier League season. The team secured their first victory only in their last match and has yet to impress with their overall performance.
Interestingly, the club has scored only four goals, the same number as the leading Al-Masry. However, with six goals conceded, they are sitting in a modest 14th position in the league table.
Ceramica lost to Al-Ahly in the opening round, which remains their only defeat this season. In subsequent games, Cleopatra earned eight points, currently placing them in sixth position.
Notably, only Zamalek has scored more than Ceramica, but their defensive game deserves special mention. Five of the seven goals they’ve conceded came from Al-Ahly, making them the league's worst defensive team in this regard.
