Haras El Hodood vs Al Ittihad Prediction: We expect an open game here as both sides have nothing to lose

Relegated Haras El Hodood will lock horns with Al Ittihad at the Haras El Hodood Stadium on Saturday. It’s almost a needless game for both sides; however, we expect the home side to put up a good game against their winless opponent.

Haras El Hudood (18th)

Last five games: LLWDL

The home side are officially relegated but have been playing some great football bar their most recent against Al Ahly. They were overwhelmed as the CAF champions league winner put three goals past them. Haras El Hodood's best performances in their last three matches were against fellow newly promoted sides Aswan and El Dakleya. Obviously, the newly promoted side could not adapt to the new environment and will return to division two. The results don't matter at the moment, as they’re officially relegated. Haras El Hodood have won three, lost four, and drawn eight in their last fourteen home matches.

Al Ittihad (7th)

Last five games: LLLLD

The Master of the City's continued their winless run with a share of the spoils against National Bank of Egypt. Both sides had their chances but couldn’t convert them as they settled for a toothless draw. That’s their seventh game without a breakthrough and four without a goal. Al Ittihad have been unlucky with fixtures as they have played four of the strongest sides in the division in recent games. Al Ittihad have picked up a point from a combined fifteen and are out of the top-four race with fifteen points below Zamalek in the fourth spot.

Al Ittihad have won five, drawn two, and lost eight away from home this season.
