Al-Ittihad vs Zamalek Betting Tips: Under 2.5 / Zamalek to WIn

Zamalek arrive at Borg El Arab Stadium unbeaten in two matches after a 1:1 draw against Modern Future on Thursday. While still 11 points behind Al-Ittihad, the visitors have a massive eight games in hand on almost all of the teams above them in the division (with the exception of Al Ahly).

José Gomes´s side won three successive matches before dropping points in recent matches against Smouha and the aforementioned Modern Future. 

On the road, Zamalek have struggled to find much form in recent outings. The Royal Club lost three of their last four away matches, while they have won just one of their last six away from home (W1, D1, L4).

Al-Ittihad also come into this fixture struggling to find much form in recent fixtures. The hosts have failed to win seven of their last nine league matches and six of their last seven at the Borg El Arab Stadium.

A likely low-scoring contest, Al Ittihad have seen under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five home matches while Zamalek have seen the same outcome in four of their five most recent fixtures. 

A tough match to call, we turn to the H2H record to get a clearer read on this weekend's Egyptian Premier League contest. Zamalek have dominated recent encounters, remaining unbeaten in their last 11 encounters, with eight victories achieved during that unvanquished sequence. 

While by no means a banker pick, I'm taking a chance on Zamalek to win a likely low-scoring occasion on Monday.
