Prediction
Unless we’re mistaken, El Dakhleya won’t be heavily backed to break down a ENPPI team who will most probably completely outclass their opponents in this match if all goes as we expect it to.
We’re going with a very easy time of it with a 4-0 thrashing which could even be higher for ENPPI when the referee blows the final whistle.
