- Competition: Egyptian Premier League
- Date: Monday, 28th, April 2025
- Kickoff: 18:00 UK / 19.00 CEST
- Venue: Borg El Arab Stadium (Alexandria)
Fighting to stay clear of the danger zone, Ismaily will host ZED at the Borg El Arab Stadium in Monday’s Egyptian top-flight action.
In a totally subdued and uneventful contest where neither side managed a single shot on target, Ismaily were forced to split the points with Al Ittihad last time out which left them sitting just three points clear of ENPPI who are lurking right beneath the drop zone.
On the flip side, ZED’s most recent league outing saw them fail to capitalize on a man advantage as they slipped to a 2-1 home defeat against El Gounah, although that stumble had little impact on the standings with the team still firmly leading the Relegation Group.
Ismaily vs ZED Betting Tips : 1X (DOUBLE CHANCE)
With a close-fought battle anticipated, Ismaily appear to have the upper hand thanks to their boosted morale and sharper displays lately making them the likelier candidates to walk away with the result they are aiming for. Heading into Monday’s clash, Al-Darawish will be buoyed by a fine unbeaten run of six matches across all competitions, with the spark for this encouraging run being lit during an action-packed 2-2 stalemate against ZED earlier in March. Ismaily’s upswing in results can be largely credited to a tightened rearguard that has successfully shut out opponents in four of their previous five matches so leaning on this reinforced defensive structure will be vital in extending their current wave of momentum. Moreover, the chances of ZED halting Ismaily’s surge appear slim since they have stumbled into serious form issues recently, failing to taste victory in any of their last four outings with three of those ending in defeat and a concerning nine goals conceded during that rough stretch. Ultimately, it feels like Ismaily’s strong motivation combined with the backing of their supporters could be enough to hold off the Green-Blacks who have badly struggled away from home winning only once in their previous seven trips.

Ismaily team news
Mohamed Khatary’s availability for Monday’s contest remains uncertain after he was forced off late in the game against El Gaish due to injury.
Pleased with his team's recent form, manager Tamer Mostafa is unlikely to tinker and will probably stick with the same lineup from last week.

Free of injuries and suspensions, ZED will line up at full power when they meet Ismaily in their next league encounter.
Head coach Hamada Sedki may be tempted to shake things up, with his side stuck in a rut after suffering three consecutive competitive defeats.
