Al Ittihad vs El Sharkia Lel Dokhan tips and predictions

Al Ittihad to come through El Sharkia Lel Dokhan but no value in odds

Al Ittihad are currently in seventh place as they prepare to host 18th place El Sharkia Lel Dokhan.

On this occasion it's not a great strategy to back the heavy favourites even though there's not a huge chance of an upset.

Reviewing the two sides' results ahead of this match, the hosts have bagged 4 wins in their last 6 matches. By contrast, the travelling side has been defeated in 10 of their last 13 matches, home or away. They should prepare themselves for defeat again here.

Reassuringly the home side has been happy in defence as they are only conceding an average of 0.7 goals over their last 6 games. Couple that with speculation that the away team has been looking suspect in defence. El Sharkia Lel Dokhan have conceded three or more goals in 6 of their last 12 assignments. Adding to their problems, some of the attacking performances by the visitors have been left wanting. It might be revealing that they've averaged just 0.5 goals in their last 13 matches.

Al Ittihad are the clear favourites but things could get exciting if El Sharkia Lel Dokhan can claw themselves into the match. It isn't the best bet in today's schedule but the Yes BTTS bet is the speculative side bet.
