Modern Sport FC
The third-round Egyptian Premier League match between Ceramica Cleopatra and Future will take place on 2 September at the Arab Contractors Stadium in Cairo. The hosts are considered favourites for the match, with their two consecutive victories in the latest head-to-head meetings providing an additional argument in their favour.
Ceramica Cleopatra: inconsistent results, but plenty of potential
Ceramica Cleopatra have recorded only one victory in their last five league matches, a 3-1 win over Al Ittihad. They also drew 1-1 with Pyramids, while their matches against Al Qanah, Zamalek and Al Masry all ended in defeat.
Despite the inconsistent results, the hosts continue to create chances and have scored five goals during this run. Their recent head-to-head meetings with Future have also gone well.
Future: too many draws
Mohamed Amin Benhachem's side have collected six points from their last five league matches. During that period, Future beat Ghazl El Mahalla 2-0, drew three times and suffered a 3-1 defeat to Al Mokawloon.
The visitors' scoring output also remains moderate, with five goals in five matches. The team are well organised, but too often settle for draws and are not always able to finish opponents off.
Match facts and head-to-head record
- Ceramica Cleopatra have won their last two matches against Future.
- Six of the last eight meetings between these teams have produced no more than two goals.
- Both teams have scored five goals in their last five league matches.
The hosts can come out on top again: Ceramica Cleopatra vs Future prediction
Meetings between these teams rarely turn into open contests, so a high-scoring game looks unlikely. Future know how to slow matches down, but the hosts have looked more convincing in their recent head-to-head encounters.
The bookmakers also give Ceramica Cleopatra a noticeable advantage. Considering home advantage and their two latest victories over this opponent, a narrow win for the hosts looks like the most likely outcome.
