Ismaily vs Al Ittihad Alexandria prediction 10.04.2025 | Egyptian Premier League

• Competition: Egyptian Premier League, Relegation Group
• Date: Thursday, 10th April, 2025
• Kickoff: 18:00 UK / 19:00 CEST
• Venue: Borg El Arab Stadium (Alexandria)

Ismaily were mostly a mid or lower part of the league's table in the last five seasons. However, this season could potentially be their worst one as they are 6th in the relegation group - just five points away from the relegation spots. There are only seven rounds left, but if they don't win some points very soon, they could easily slip down. So, these home games against other relegation contenders are a must-win.

Al Ittihad Alexandria were mostly a team that spent their time at the lower half of the league's table but not too close to being relegated. This season, it looked like they would rather easily secure survival, but after losing four in a row, they complicated their lives massively. Now, they are sitting in 5th place in the Relegation Group with 18 points - just one point more than their next opponent, Ismaily.

Ismaily vs Al Ittihad Alexandria pick: Under 2.5 goals

Ismaily are in bad form, having won once in the last ten matches in all competitions. They really struggled to score during that time, considering they were on a five-game goalless run in February. In the last three games, we have seen five goals, but they were lucky, and we do not think they deserved to score that much.

Meanwhile, Al Ittihad Alexandria are in terrible form, losing five in a row with just four scored goals - 0.8 per game. Away from home, they have massive problems scoring, as they average only 0.6 goals per game. Because of a poor offense and not-that-bad defense away from home, they were under 2.5 goals in nine out of those ten road matches - 90%.

In the previous h2h game, Al Ittihad Alexandria won 1:0 in a match without too many goalscoring chances. Al Ittihad Alexandria had just three shots on target, while Ismaily had zero. These teams were combined for only 0.7 xG!

Considering the previous h2h game and all the above, an under 2.5 goals bet seems like the best option for this Premier League tie.
