On Tuesday Apr 19th, in week 15, Al Ittihad plays host to Zamalek in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Premier League teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 16 degrees, which is great football weather. 11th placed Al Ittihad is fresh off their 1-1 draw against National Bank of Egypt. Naser El Mansi struck first for National Bank of Egypt in the 5th minute, then Ibrahim Hassan tied it up for Al Ittihad in the 65th minute earning Al Ittihad a comeback draw. Al Ittihad looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 8 points in their last 10 matches, while zamalek sits at 1st place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-0 scoreless draw against Pharco. Neither Zamalek nor Pharco could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 11 and 5 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a scoreless draw,. Zamalek is on a hot streak lately, with 7 wins in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season Zamalek won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Both Sayed and Emam Ashour have been the hottest scorers for Zamalek in the last five each having scored 3 goals. Mabululo and Abdelhamid are the top scorers for Al Ittihad in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal.
