The first round of the Egypt League Cup Group A will kick off on December 10, 2025, at 15:00 GMT+0 at the Gehaz El Reyada El Askari Stadium in Cairo (capacity 20,000). El Gaish will host Ceramica Cleopatra in a match that traditionally delivers goals and cards in recent years. No official referee appointment has been announced yet by the Egyptian FA, but the game will be played on a neutral-like military stadium where El Gaish formally acts as the home side.

This fixture opens the group stage, and both clubs desperately need points to avoid an early complicated situation before facing stronger opponents later. El Gaish vs Ceramica Cleopatra prediction today points to another high-scoring encounter given the trends of the last 18 months.

BETTING TIPS AND MATCH INSIGHTS

The Egypt League Cup often produces open football in the opening rounds, and this matchup fits the pattern perfectly. Recent head-to-heads have been dominated by Ceramica Cleopatra, while El Gaish are looking for revenge after losing the last five meetings. Form, motivation and key absences will play a massive role. Our El Gaish vs Ceramica Cleopatra match prediction is built on deep statistical trends and current squad status.

El Gaish Results

El Gaish approach the cup tie after a mixed run in the Premier League and a confidence-boosting cup win against lower-division opposition. They remain tough to break down at home but continue struggling to convert draws into victories. The 2-0 loss to Ceramica in October still hurts.

El Gaish have won only once in their last eight competitive games across all competitions. At home they collected just five points from the last five league matches (3 draws, 2 losses). Defensive solidity is still there (only Zamalek scored more than two goals against them), but attacking output remains low — average 1.1 goals per home game since September.

Ceramica Cleopatra Results

Ceramica Cleopatra arrive in excellent spirits after four consecutive victories before the November international break. Ayman El Ramady’s side has become one of the most efficient attacking teams in the country. Their away record is particularly impressive lately.

Ceramica have scored at least two goals in six of their last eight matches in all competitions. Their only defeat in the last ten games came against champions Al Ahly. Away from home they kept three clean sheets in the last five trips and average 1.9 goals scored per away match since August.

Free Tips on El Gaish vs Ceramica Cleopatra

Egyptian League Cup openers are rarely low-scoring when these two meet, and the data from 2024–2025 only reinforces that trend. Below are five high-value, data-backed betting angles that go beyond the obvious form guide and directly exploit repeatable patterns in this specific fixture.

• Exploit Ceramica’s away set-piece dominance: Since the start of 2024/25 Ceramica have scored 38% of their away goals from dead-ball situations (corners + free-kicks). El Gaish concede the second-highest number of corners per home game in the Premier League (5.9). Back Ceramica Over 5.5 corners — hit in 7 of their last 9 away matches.
• Target BTTS in the first half when Ceramica travel to military stadiums: Four of the last five competitive games between these sides at Gehaz El Reyada El Askari or New Suez Stadium saw both teams score before half-time. The artificial pitch here speeds up the ball and forces early mistakes — 1st half BTTS has landed in 6 of Ceramica’s last 8 away games on synthetic turf.
• Fade El Gaish clean sheets in December cup games: El Gaish have kept only one clean sheet in their last ten December competitive matches dating back to 2021 (against lower-division sides). Ceramica have scored 2+ in five of their last six cup or league games played in the final month of the year.
• Over 8.5 total cards is mispriced: Average card count in the last five H2H is 9.2 per game. Egyptian referees in the League Cup average 5.8 yellows in the opening round, and with no VAR in the group stage, late tackles on the fast artificial surface push the index higher. Four of the last five meetings cleared 9+ cards.
• Fakhreddine Ben Youssef anytime goalscorer offers value: The Tunisian striker has scored or assisted in every single game against El Gaish since joining Ceramica (7 direct goal contributions in 5 appearances vs them). He is averaging 4.1 shots per 90 in away games this season and faces an El Gaish defence that allows the joint-most big chances to opposing centre-forwards at home.

El Gaish vs Ceramica Cleopatra Match Prediction 2025

Despite playing at home, El Gaish face an uphill battle against a Ceramica side that has their number completely. Ceramica’s attacking transitions and set-piece efficiency have repeatedly exposed El Gaish’s slow defensive line this calendar year. Current El Gaish vs Ceramica Cleopatra odds undervalue the visitors heavily considering the head-to-head monopoly and current momentum. We see strong value on Ceramica winning with over 2.5 goals combined — exactly the pattern of four of the last five meetings.
