The 8th round of the Egyptian Premier League will kick off with a match in Cairo, where local side Petrojet will host Al-Masry at the Petrosport Arena. I suggest a bet on the outcome of this encounter with good chances of success.
Match preview
After last season's triumph, when Petrojet won the second division title, the team rightfully earned a place in the Premier League. However, the start of the new season was difficult, with only two points from the first four matches. But it seems that the team has started to recover.
First came an important victory over Tala'ea El-Gaish (1:0), followed by another 1:0 win against El-Gouna. These successes continued Petrojet's excellent cup run, where they defeated Modern Sport (1:0). In the last round, the team played a 1:1 draw at home against ENPPI. Thanks to these victories, the team moved up to 10th place in the standings, giving hope for further success in the Premier League.
Last season, the Green Eagles finished 4th in the standings, just one point behind Zamalek in the fight for third place. The new season has also been promising, with the team currently sitting in 5th place, just three points behind leaders Al-Ahly. Recently, the team was in second place, but they endured a rough patch, collecting only two points from the last three matches. This series was broken with a 1:0 win against Farco in the last round. In general, the team has only one loss in eight matches.
