Al Ittihad Alexandria vs Ghazl Al Mahalla prediction 02.03.2026 | Egyptian Premier League

Al Ittihad Alexandria’s campaign this season has been challenging. Their limited attacking output (0.76 goals per match) and recurring defensive lapses have contributed to their low league position and inconsistent results. However, there has been a degree of resurgence in recent weeks, with three consecutive wins between 30 January and 16 February lifting them up the table, despite a 1-0 defeat to Petrojet in the most recent round.

Notably, they picked up a 2-0 victory against Haras El Hodood, which underlined their ability to grind out results when solid at both ends of the pitch. However, setbacks like the 3-1 defeat to Ceramica Cleopatra suggest ongoing defensive vulnerabilities that need to be tightened to compete here.

Ghazl Al Mahalla have endured a similarly inconsistent league season, but the data indicates that their defensive numbers have been slightly more compact than those of their hosts. They have conceded only 13 goals in 18 league matches, averaging 0.7 goals conceded per game, and have recorded an impressive 12 clean sheets so far in this Egyptian Premier League campaign.

This tighter defensive profile has been a key feature - as evidenced by multiple 0-0 draws and low-scoring encounters - but it comes at the cost of limited attacking threat, a characteristic that often sees games against mid-table opposition end in stalemate or narrow margins.
