El Hodood

Current form
Haras El Hodood played in the second division last season, where they took third place and got into the playoffs for a place in the Premier League. There, the team managed to bypass Alexandria, Suez and El Terasana, receiving the long-awaited promotion. However, it will be difficult to maintain their place in the Premier League. So far, the team is only in 16th place out of 18, ahead of only El Gouna and Modern Sport. In the last match of the Egyptian Cup, the visitors lost to ENPPI (0:1), but in the championship they performed well - draws with Al-Masry (0:0) and Ismaily (2:2), as well as a victory over Tala Al-Gaish (3:0).
Disqualifications and injuries

Tip and bets
Zamalek is far superior to its opponent in terms of the level of play and is unlikely to lose points in this match. The team is fighting for medals, so there can be no misfires, especially on its home field. The hosts won the last two face-to-face matches with a total score of 7:0. We believe that the visitors will not have a chance of success now either.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1.5) on Zamalek for 2.10
Bet on total
In the last head-to-head matches, Zamalek did not score less than three goals against their opponents. Most often, the visitors did not need help to break the total. The favorite continues to be effective this season, so this match will most likely be productive.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals for 2.05
Bet on corners
The hosts will probably take the initiative in the match right away and will put pressure on their opponents for the entire 90 minutes. Most likely, the advantage in the number of corner kicks will be on Zamalek side.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-3.5) on Zamalek for 1.90
