Al-Ittihad will be looking for a return to winning form when they take on Modern Sport FC at Alexandria Stadium on Wednesday.
Al-Ittihad vs Modern Sport FC Betting Tips - Under 2.5 Goals
Two sides struggling to find their top form meetup at the Alexandria Stadium on Wednesday as AL-Ittihad hosts Modern Sport.
Al-Ittihad return to home comforts after failing to win any of their last four matches following a 0:0 draw against Ghazl El Mehalla last Friday.
Having begun their Premier League campaign brightly with back-to-back victories against Pharco and Ghazl El Mehalla, the hosts have since failed to win any of their next three league matches.
A lack of firepower remains an issue for a side that have struggled to claim Premier League victories in 2024. Al-Ittihad scored just three goals in five games played this season, while they netted only seven across 18 PL matches since May. As a consequence, the home side have won just three games during that period.
Modern Sport FC come into Wednesday's Premier League encounter having endured a similarly difficult run of results. Franck Dumas´s side have lost each of their last three games (all competitions) while they have failed to win any of their first five PL matches of the new campaign.
Like Al-Ittihad, a lack of goals has been the biggest problem for Modern Sport. Dumas´s men scored just twice in their last five games, while they have won only two of ten previous PL matches since July.
With both teams short in form and firepower, a low-scoring encounter seems inevitable on Wednesday.
Under 2.5 goals is my only choice at the Alexandria Stadium.
