Match preview

Ceramica Cleopatra, under Ali Maher, are in the midst of a standout campaign, currently holding 4th place with 43 points. Still, their recent form has dipped slightly — a 0-1 loss to Al Masry last time out followed a run of draws. Their primary objective now is to remain in the top four and secure qualification for the CAF Confederation Cup. In attack, much depends on Ahmed Kendouci and the experienced John Okoye Ebuka.

Pyramids, coached by Krunoslav Jurčić, are firmly in the title race. Level on 50 points with Zamalek after 20 rounds, they continue to impress with their attacking strength. A dominant 3-0 win over Al Ahly and a comeback 3-2 victory against ENPPI highlight their current momentum. Fiston Mayele has been in excellent form, playing a key role in recent successes, while the team leads the league in goals scored with 40.

From a tactical standpoint, Pyramids are expected to take control early, using high pressing and attacking width. Ceramica Cleopatra, on the other hand, may adopt a more conservative setup, focusing on defensive organization and limiting space for their opponents’ midfield creators.

Probable lineups

Ceramica Cleopatra: Bassam — Hany, Nabil, Ramadan, Shokry — Ibrahim, Belhadji, Adel — Sadiug, Kendouci, Ebuka

Pyramids: El Shenawy — Chibi, Marei, Samy, Hamdy — Toure, Lasheen — Fathi, El Karti, Adel — Mayele
