ZED vs Petrojet prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – December 30, 2024
One of the matches of the 7th round of the Egyptian Premier League will be played on Monday in Cairo, where local side ZED will face Petrojet. I suggest a bet on the number of goals in this clash with strong chances of success.
Match Preview
In the previous season of the Premier League, the "green and black" fought for a spot in the African international cups, but ended up finishing in 7th place. This season, ZED has earned 9 points from 6 opening matches, trailing the leader, Zamalek, by 2 points.
In the last matchday of the Premier League, ZED hosted ENPPI at home but failed to secure points, drawing 0-0. Prior to that, ZED won two consecutive matches, defeating Farkh away (1-0) and Haras El-Hodoud (2-0). Overall, the "green and black" are on a 4-match unbeaten streak in the league.
Meanwhile, Petrojet had a successful run in the Second Division last season, winning the league and finishing 12 points ahead of their nearest rivals, Ghazl El-Mahalla. However, their start in the top division has been underwhelming, failing to win any of their first four matches (three draws and one loss).
However, in December, their fortunes took a turn for the better. Petrojet secured two consecutive wins, defeating Tala' al-Gaish (1-0) and El-Gouna (1-0), which propelled them up to 8th place in the standings. The team now has 8 points and is just 2 points behind the league leader.
Probable Lineups
- ZED: Lotfi, Saed, Ismaili, Al-Ash, Ashraf, Atef, Mutumosi, Magassa, El Banobu, Hussein, Ziko
- Petrojet: Salah, Kenawi, Riyad, Reda, Tafwik, Bahbah, El Metwali, Hamdan, Ben Moussa, Chukwudi, Ibrahim
Match Facts and Head-to-Head
- The teams previously met in the Second Division, and in three of the four matches, the result was a 0-0 draw.
- In the last encounter, ZED won away with a 2-1 scoreline.
- In 4 out of the last 5 matches involving Petrojet, the bet on "Total under 2.5" was successful.
Prediction
As we can see, Petrojet is gradually settling into the top division, and now ZED's victory doesn't look as certain in the odds. It seems better to take "Total under 2.0" with a coefficient of 1.80.
