On Monday afternoon, ZED and Samanod will start their journey in the Egyptian Cup. The gap between the two teams should be big, and the hosts will be strong favorites, but the visitors have already eliminated two teams from a higher level and will try to do the same in the upcoming tie. Let's break down the match and find the best betting option.
ZED team overview
ZED are regularly a mid-table team since they returned to the Egyptian Premier League in the 2023/24 season. In the current campaign, Mohamed Shawky's team collected 11 points in the first eight rounds and are 10th in the standings. However, ZED are not in the best form, with one draw and two defeats in the last three matches across all competitions. In the most recent outing, ZED played 0-0 at home in the League Cup against El Gaish. The hosts dominated for most of the tie, but their inefficiency cost them two points.
The biggest problem for ZED this season is their attacking line. While they are a strong defensive team, conceding only ten goals, Mohamed Shawky's side has scored just nine times in the Premier League so far and will need to do better to break into the top six.
ZED have some problems with missing players. Wajdi Nabhan tore his ACL a few weeks ago, and for him, the season is probably over. Besides the left-back, ZED will also be without Mohamed Ashraf and Ahmed Castelo.
In the previous couple of weeks, ZED's head coach, Mohamed Shawky, often talked about rotating players and the need to rest some regular starters. Since the team is playing a lower-tier opponent in the cup, Monday could be the right time to give some players who haven't had many minutes this season a chance.

Samanod team overview
Samanod are playing in the third level of the Egyptian football system, where they are in a solid sixth position with 14 points after the first eight rounds. Samanod have made big steps forward in recent years and may be solid enough to fight for the top two positions in the competition and promotion. Samanod are in excellent form lately with three wins in the last four matches. In the previous league game, they won 2-1 against Minyat El Nasr.
Samanod already had two rounds of the cup this season, and they won both times, knocking out second-tier teams. First, Samanod beat Haras El Hodood 1-0, then triumphed over Baladiyat El Mahalla on penalties in the next round. Both opponents have played in the Egyptian Premier League in recent years.

Prediction
Both teams are struggling offensively. ZED scored nine goals in eight Premier League games this season, while Samanod scored 11 goals in their eight league matches in the current campaign. Both teams have big problems in attack, and it is unlikely we will see more than two goals in the upcoming cup tie.
3 Reasons why we shouldn't expect more than two goals in this match
- ZED scored nine goals in eight league matches
- Two of the previous three ZED games in all competitions have gone under 2.5 goals
- Samanod scored 11 goals in their eight league matches
