Zamalek take on the visitors Al Ittihad in the round 30 match of Egyptian Premier League. The match will be played on Monday, June 5th at Cairo International Stadium (Cairo).
Zamalek are 8 points behind the second place, which grants a spot in the qualification for the African Champions League, with only 5 rounds left in the championship. It's practically impossible to recover such a gap in such a short period, especially considering that Pyramids FC, their competitor, has a match in hand. Likewise, it's highly unlikely for Zamalek to drop below the 4th place, which secures a qualification for the Confederation Cup. They also have an 8-point lead over Al Arabi Contractors. Throughout the tournament, Zamalek's performance has been lackluster, with a goal difference of 42-27 after 29 matches, averaging just over two goals per game.

Al Ittihad have a similarly modest overall performance, with a goal difference of 32-33 after 28 matches in the championship, averaging 2.3 goals per game. After 28 matches, it is fully deserved that Al-Ittihad find itself among the leaders. Currently, this team occupies the 8th position in the Premier League table, with 40 points (12 wins, 4 draws, 12 losses). In away matches, they score an average of 1.1 goals. It is worth noting that they have troubled their opponents the most during the 76th to 90th minutes, scoring 7 times. Regardless, this team still poses a significant threat to any opponent, making it challenging to overcome them at this stage.
Zamalek are considered the favorite in this match, which is quite logical considering they are playing at home and are in need of points. However, it would be wise not to underestimate Al Ittihad, as they currently occupy the 6th position in the table and have avoided defeat in their last two encounters. It's unlikely that we'll see a high-scoring game here, given the mentioned goal difference between the opponents. Moreover, in their previous 11 meetings, they have only exceeded the standard total goal line twice. There are no particular reasons to expect a goal fest in this match, considering the overall performance and the history of their head-to-head encounters. While I won't venture to predict how the points will be shared, based on the available data, I would assume that neither team will score more than two goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
