Kahraba Ismailia, known for maintaining a consistent possession rate around 45%, poses a threat through effective counter-attacks and wing play. Their recent form boasts three wins in their last five matches, including a 1-0 away victory against Al-Ittihad Alexandria, giving them a psychological advantage. Their attacking core averages five shots on target per game, combined with frequent crosses from the wings (21 corners in the last three matches), making them key to breaking down defenses. At home, they are expected to reinforce midfield interceptions and high pressing, with the defensive midfielders focused on disrupting the opponents' passing lanes. They will also aim to control the game's tempo with a 69% pass success rate, avoiding inefficient possession. Al-Ittihad Alexandria employs an extremely defensive approach. Their high shots-on-target conceded rate is ranked third in the league. Their three-centre-back formation, while intended to solidify the defense, has shown limited effectiveness. Their attack relies on sporadic counter-attacks, with under two goals scored in four out of their last five matches against strong opponents, highlighting poor scoring efficiency. However, Al-Ittihad Alexandria is not without their strengths, their midfield's aggressive tackling style (30 tackles in the last three matches) and the tactical habit of 'defensive shrinking' on the road might be the key to containing the home team. Good luck. Under 1.75
