ZED vs El Daklyeh Betting Tips: Under 2.5 Goals / ZED Win

ZED turn their attentions to the Egyptian Cup on Tuesday after picking up a 0:0 draw against Al Ittihad in their most recent Premier League runout. Enjoying a decent run of form, ZED won four and lost only one of their last six matches.

While placed third in the Premier League, Magdy Abdel Aaty´s side have been less consistent in home fixtures with only one win recorded from seven games played at WE Al-Ahly Stadium.

A lack of goals has been the biggest issue for ZED - the hosts failed to score in five of the seven games played on home soil this season. All five of those games saw under 2.5 goals scored. 

Despite their recent home stumbles, ZED will surely see this match as one they should be winning. Ek Daklyeh have been in poor form in recent weeks, particularly on their travels. Eid Merazik´s side have failed to win ANY of 15 away games played since July 2023. 

More recently, El Daklyeh slipped to defeat in five of seven road games this season. Remarkably, all five games ended with the same 1:0 scoreline, while the visitors have yet to net in an away fixture this season. 

With both teams short on goals, a low-scoring contest seems likely on Tuesday. Under 2.5 goals looks a likely outcome and that's my primary pick. I also expect ZED to eventually claim their place in the round of sixteen, with a 1:0 scoreline surely worth a bet considering El Daklyeh´s recent away results.
