One of the matches in the 33rd round of the Egyptian Premier League will be played on Monday in Cairo, where the local Modern Sport will host Al-Ittihad at the "Al-Sekka Al-Hadid" stadium. Here’s a prediction for this match from the Dailyports expert team.
Modern Sport
The recent results of the "Reds" suggest that Talaat Youssef's team is facing some challenges. Currently, Modern Sport is in 5th place in the Egyptian Premier League standings. Out of 32 matches played, the team has secured 13 wins and suffered eight losses.
The "Reds" are just five points away from the top three teams, keeping their chances alive for qualifying for African club competitions. However, it is crucial for Modern Sport to avoid dropping points as they have been recently. In the last round, the team lost 2-3 away to ZED. Before that, they also lost at home to Al-Ahly. In their 16 home matches, Modern Sport has managed only five wins, losing the same number of games.
Al-Ittihad
The "White-Greens" were sitting in second place in the Premier League standings earlier in the spring, but a series of poor results have seen them slip to 10th place. Al-Ittihad has accumulated 40 points from 32 matches, with nine wins and ten losses.
Heading into the match against Modern Sport, Al-Ittihad comes off the back of a goalless draw at home against ENPPI. Overall, Al-Ittihad has now gone 10 Premier League games without a win, drawing five times during this stretch. In 16 away matches, Al-Ittihad has collected 20 points, with just five victories.
Interesting Facts and Head-to-Head History
- In the first round of the current season, the teams played to a 0-0 draw.

Modern Sport vs Al-Ittihad Prediction
Bookmakers are offering odds of around 1.95 for a Modern Sport victory. While the hosts have been dropping points recently, their opponents were teams from the upper part of the table. It might be wise to bet on "Total Under 2.5" with odds of 1.60 in this match.
