Derby Day in Egypt: ZED vs National Bank of Egypt
Form Guide & Tactical Insights
The Egyptian Premier League’s revamped format brings added tension to every fixture, and the ZED vs National Bank of Egypt derby is no exception. With both sides aiming to secure a Championship Round berth, this encounter promises tactical discipline and calculated risk.
ZED, under Mohamed Shawqi, has shown a balanced approach—4 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses in their last 11 league outings. Their recent 2-2 draw against Tala’ea El Geish underlines their resilience, but also exposes defensive vulnerabilities. National Bank of Egypt, led by Ayman Al Ramadi, boasts a slightly better record with 3 wins and 6 draws from 11 games. Their 3-0 win over El Gouna FC signals attacking intent, yet their tendency for draws suggests a cautious mindset.

1×2 Prediction: Away Win (odds 2.30, confidence 4.0/10)
National Bank’s marginally better form and defensive stability give them the edge, but with confidence not sky-high, consider this a value pick.
