Predictions for the Premiership game Ceramica Cleopatra vs. ZED FC
Ceramica Cleopatra - ZED FC betting tip & best odds | 31.10.2026
Ceramica Cleopatra host ZED FC in Premiership Matchday 8 on Saturday, 31 October 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 19:00. The home side start as favourites after winning five of their first seven league matches, while ZED will look to build on a recent home victory and improve an away record that includes two draws.
Our betting tips for Ceramica Cleopatra vs ZED FC
Ceramica Cleopatra have the stronger league record and the advantage of playing at home, making them the more appealing choice in the match-result market. ZED are competitive, but their away form has been less convincing, with one win, two draws and one defeat from four trips. Our first sports betting tip is a home win, while the second selection focuses on a match in which at least one team fails to score.
- Tip 1: Ceramica Cleopatra to win at odds of 2.05 — The hosts have taken 15 points from seven league games and sit fourth, four points ahead of ninth-placed ZED. Their home record is three wins and one loss, and they arrive after a 2–0 victory over PetroJet FC. That combination of home advantage and recent momentum makes the home side our preferred 1/X/2 pick for today’s football prediction.
- Tip 2: Both teams to score — No at odds of 1.73 — Ceramica have conceded seven goals in seven league matches, while ZED have scored eight across the same number of games. The visitors’ away record is mixed, and the last direct meeting ended 0–0. A clean sheet for either side is a reasonable possibility, so “No” is our second betting tip in the both-teams-to-score market.
These football bets today reflect Ceramica’s stronger start and the possibility of a controlled contest rather than an open exchange. As with any wager, odds can change and no outcome is guaranteed.
Comparing the best odds
The listed prices give Ceramica Cleopatra a clear but not overwhelming edge: Paripesa offer 2.05 for a home win, compared with 3.10 for the draw, while 1win price a ZED victory at 3.74. In the goals market, Paripesa list “Both teams to score — Yes” at 2.00 and “No” at 1.73. The shorter price on a clean sheet outcome aligns with our second selection, while the home-win price offers a potentially worthwhile return given Ceramica’s results so far. Our experience comparing bookmakers is that prices and market availability can vary, so it is sensible to check the latest terms before placing a bet.

Ceramica Cleopatra performance check
Ceramica Cleopatra have made a strong start to the Premiership campaign. Seven matches have brought five wins and two defeats, with no draws, leaving them fourth in the table on 15 points. Their goal difference is also positive: 13 scored and seven conceded. At home, they have won three of four games, although the single defeat shows that ZED should not be dismissed solely because they are travelling.
Their latest result was a 2–0 home win against PetroJet FC, a performance that added to a run of four victories in their last five matches across all competitions. They have lost once in that sequence and drawn none. The recent results suggest a side capable of turning pressure into points, while the clean sheet against PetroJet offers encouragement for the “Both teams to score — No” angle. Coach Ali Maher will want his team to maintain that balance: Ceramica have scored regularly, but staying organised at the back may be especially important against an opponent who has shown some attacking threat.
ZED FC’s recent form and away challenge
ZED FC sit ninth with 11 points from seven league matches. Their record stands at three wins, two draws and two defeats, and their goals are evenly balanced at eight scored and eight conceded. That places them four points behind Ceramica, though their two draws indicate they can be difficult to beat. On the road, ZED have one win, two draws and one loss from four matches, a record that points to resilience but not consistent dominance away from home.
Mohamed Shawky’s side come into this fixture after a 3–2 home win over Future FC. It was an encouraging result, and ZED have won three of their last five matches in all competitions, alongside one draw and one defeat. Their recent form is therefore respectable, but the five-goal contest with Future also underlines that their games can be open. Against a Ceramica team with a stronger league return and a good home record, ZED may need to defend more carefully and make the most of their chances. Their ability to take a point from previous meetings could provide confidence, even if this particular trip presents a tough test.
The last direct duels
The recent head-to-head record has been unusually consistent: all four of the last meetings across competitions ended in draws. Neither Ceramica Cleopatra nor ZED FC has claimed a win in that sample. The most recent encounter finished 0–0, and the last Premiership meeting also ended goalless. Those results are relevant to the goals market, as they show that this fixture has previously produced tight, low-scoring football.
However, past meetings do not decide the next result. Ceramica’s current form is stronger, and their five wins in seven league games contrast with ZED’s three. The hosts will be aiming to break the sequence of stalemates, while the visitors can take heart from having avoided defeat in each of the last four clashes. That history adds some uncertainty to the match-result prediction, but it also supports the possibility of another cautious encounter.
Match conclusion and prediction
Ceramica Cleopatra have the clearest case to be favourites: they are higher in the standings, have collected more points, and have won three of their four home league matches. Their recent 2–0 success over PetroJet FC also gives them momentum heading into Matchday 8. ZED FC are in decent form themselves and have been hard to separate from Ceramica in recent head-to-heads, but their away results offer less reason to expect them to control the game.
Our main prediction is a Ceramica Cleopatra home win at 2.05. The hosts’ stronger campaign and home advantage make Tip 1 the preferred outcome, although the four consecutive draws between these teams are a reminder that this may be a close contest. For the goals market, we lean towards both teams not scoring at 1.73. The previous 0–0 meeting and Ceramica’s clean sheet in their latest match support that selection, while the visitors’ away record suggests they may find chances harder to come by.
