The Egyptian Premier League action shifts to Cairo International Stadium, where the league-leading ZED will host the fourth-placed Pyramids. Let's preview this upcoming match and make a prediction.

In their recent league fixtures, ZED performed admirably by securing victories against Zamalek, Pharco, and El Daklyeh. However, they faced a setback in their match against El Gaish, ending in a loss, while another game concluded in a draw against Al Ittihad. Across these matches, ZED netted seven goals and conceded four. Their average goal-scoring rate for the current league season stands at 1.6 goals per match.

In terms of discipline, the home team accumulated 17 yellow cards and one red card, averaging 11.70 fouls per game. ZED maintains an average team rating of 6.66 per match. Notably, they exhibit proficiency in ball possession, boasting an average possession rate of 54.40% in the ongoing season.

In Pyramids' recent league encounters, they secured victories against Future FC, Al Masry, and El Ismaily, displaying a commendable performance. However, they faced defeat in their match against Ceramica Cleopatra, and one fixture ended in a draw against Baladiyyat El Mehalla. Throughout these matches, Pyramids demonstrated proficiency by scoring 8 goals while conceding six.

In their away games, Pyramids maintained an average of 1.5 goals scored per match and conceded 1.13. The team received 18 yellow cards and one red card, accumulating a total of 108 fouls.

ZED has certainly proven to be an impressive side lately, currently holding the top position in the league standings. Despite Pyramids facing some challenges, they have historically been the dominant team in this fixture. Considering that a victory in this match would propel them to the top of the standings, I believe they have a good chance of winning here. Additionally, given the offensive capabilities of both teams, betting on both teams to score and a total of over 2.5 goals seems like a reasonable consideration.
