El Dakhleya vs ZED Betting Tips: ZED TO WIN

Despite putting up a brave display and being on the brink of clinching a mountainous point on Friday, El Dakhleya unfortunately couldn't withstand the onslaught of the 43-time Egyptian champions Al Ahly, eventually going down 1-2 just two minutes shy of full time.

The fifteenth defeat of the season, mirroring their total points tally, thwarted their chance to exploit the stumbles of fellow relegation contenders to close the distance to the safe zone, consequently keeping them entrenched at the foot of the table.

Granted, the Abbassia-based club will be buoyed by their return home, where they have taken a priceless four points in their latest pair of fixtures and kept clean sheets in both, playing out a goalless draw against El Gounah and sinking Araba Contractors 3-0.

As their clock ticks down and games dwindle in their bid to stay in the Egyptian Premier League, Reda Shehata's team will need to address offensive shortcomings, as their measly 13 goals place them as the least prolific scorers in the division with a paltry rate of 0.5 goals per match.

Meanwhile, ZED's quest for a top-three finish has slightly slowed down in recent days, as they have been unable to get the most out against rivals below them in the table, first splitting points with Al Ittihad in a scoreless contest before sweating to salvage a last-gasp 2-2 tie against relegation-threatened Pharco.

Much of ZED's rich domestic campaign - currently sixth with 38 points to their name, just four shy of third-placed Al Masry but with a game in hand - can be attributed to their stellar displays on the road, where they collected 23 points as a result of W6 D5 L1, with only Pyramids being more succesful travelers thus far.

Led by Magdy Abdel Aaty, the spirited Giza-based club come into this one on the back of three road wins on the bounce - dispatcing Ismaily, Baladiyat El Mahalla, and Smouha in succession - and will be determined to extend their winning streak, taking inspiration from their emphatic 3-1 beating of El Dakhleya in the December reverse fixture. ZED, buoyed by their recent form, is anticipated to find the key to victory in this contest and revive their push towards the top three.
