CAIRO (Interstat) — National Bank of Egypt Club hosts Ismaily SC on Thursday, May 7, in an Egyptian Premier League match that pits two teams coming off victories last week.

Interstat’s game simulator forecasts a 2-0 victory for National Bank, and the outlet’s ELO system gives the club a 75.20 percent probability of winning.
Ismaily also won its most recent outing, beating Petrojet 1-0 on the road April 28. The visiting side will rely on Anwar Abdelsalam, who came off the bench in the 90th minute of that match and immediately contributed a goal and an assist in the narrow win.
For National Bank, forward Yaw Annor also made a late impact. Substituted in the 90th minute of the victory over Kahrabaa Ismailia, Annor found the net to seal the 3-1 result. Both players are expected to see more minutes Thursday as the teams battle for position in the league standings.
