Baladiyat El Mahalla vs National Bank of Egypt Prediction 25.12.2023

• Competition: Egyptian Premier League
• Date: Monday, 25th, December 2023
• Kickoff: 17:00 UTC / 18.00 CET
• Venue: El Mahalla Stadium (El Mahalla El Kubra)

On Monday, at Ghazl El Mahalla Stadium, Baladiyat El Mahalla is set to host the bottom-placed team, National Bank Egypt. Their hope is to leverage this opportunity to distance themselves from the danger zone.

After a long hiatus of 16 years, Baladiyat El Mahalla has triumphantly returned to the pinnacle of Egyptian football, winning the Group C title in the second division and securing a direct promotion. Ramadan El Sayed and his team’s primary goal will be to avoid relegation and, based on their current performance, they are prepared to exert every ounce of effort to maintain their position in the country’s top league. BMH, with only a slim three-point lead over the bottom three, needs to convert their ties into wins. So far, they have drawn half of their first eight games, alongside two victories and two losses.

Conversely, the National Bank of Egypt’s performance this season has been far from successful, putting their top-tier status at significant risk if they don’t find a solution for their continuous losses. The team has already lost an astounding eight out of their first nine games. After two consecutive stable league seasons, it appears the club from Egypt’s capital is facing a tough battle to maintain their position, especially considering their only claimed points came from a commanding 4-0 win over third-ranked Al Masry. A mere three points out of a possible 27 have left NBE firmly entrenched at the bottom of the Egyptian Premier League standings, trailing by four points from the relegation safe zone.

Baladiyat El Mahalla vs National Bank of Egypt Betting Tips: BTTS

We believe that both teams have a real shot at scoring in Monday’s exciting match, given that they’ll both be sizing up their chances and their defenses have been lacking this season. Despite Baladiyat’s lethal offense, which has scored 12 goals, it hasn’t been able to fully offset their defense’s shortcomings, as they’ve let in at least two goals in six out of their last seven league games. This mix of a strong offense and weak defense makes them a particularly entertaining team to watch. In fact, El Sayed’s team has both scored and allowed at least two goals in four of their last six major league games. The visitors are undoubtedly the biggest disappointment in the Egyptian Premier League, with their disastrous start to the season largely due to a lack of discipline in their defense. They’ve only managed to prevent the other team from scoring once in the first nine rounds.

Given the vulnerability of both sides at the back, coupled with their depth in the final third, we believe Baladiyat and NBE will both find a way to get on the scoresheet come Monday afternoon.
