Football Bet of the Day: Let the goals flow in Cairo

Capital clubs to put on a show

Pyramids v Zamalek
Thursday 03 September, 19:30

Norse mythology doesn't really feature fountains of goals, but perhaps it should. Iceland delivered once again for us last night, as Magni's surprise 3-2 win over Afturelding landed our Over 3.5 Goals bet with 25 minutes to spare.

We move back to warmer climes now, because Pyramids are up against Zamalek in the Egyptian Premier, and there could be goals on the horizon.

Pyramids are coached by former Croatia coach and ex-TV repair man Ante Cacic, and they are battling it out for second spot in the table with today's opponents Zamalek. They have the league's top scorer in Abdalla El Said, and only runaway leaders Al Ahly have scored more goals. Since the season resumed, Pyramids have won four of their five league games, and all five of them have featured at least three goals.

Zamalek have been crowned as champions 12 times in their illustrious history, and although they are off the pace, they recently gave a reminder of their quality as they beat the leaders Al Ahly 3-1. Five of their last 11 away games have featured at least three goals, and intriguingly there have been 28 goals in their road matches compared to just 19 in their games at the Cairo International Stadium.

Pyramids are scoring freely, while Zamalek are nowhere near as defensively solid on the road as they are at home. I'll go for Over 2.5 Goals here at 2.427/5.
