Kahraba Ismailia, a different story they tell. Winless in ten? No. One victory they have, a 2-1 away win against Masr, a team sitting seventh. But draws, their constant companion.

• Statistical Imperative: With Kahraba Ismailia involved in 'Both Teams to Score' games 90% of the time recently, the pattern is strong.

Deep thought, this requires. The obvious match outcome is clouded. A draw, the recent form of both suggests. But for value, one must look beyond the winner. The goal markets, where truth often lies. The odds for both teams to score sit at 2.20. The fair market probability is 44%, but the data suggests a much higher likelihood. When one team's games feature both teams scoring 9 times out of 10, and the other more than half the time, the probability is greater. 65%, I estimate. Therefore, value, there is.
