- Competition: Egyptian Premier League
- Date: 25th May 2025
- Kick-off: 18:00 UK / 19:00 CEST
- Venue:Gehaz El Reyada Stadium
El Gaish and Ghacl El Mahalla will face off in Egypt’s top flight on Sunday evening, with the visitors looking to keep their hopes of avoiding relegation alive.
Only six points separate the two sides, with El Gaish sitting third in the relegation standings and the visitors in the bottom two.
The hosts have already secured safety, with a six-point cushion from the relegation zone, but their performances in the play-offs have been poor. Haitham Shaaban’s side boast only won one of their six playoff games so far whilst failing to score in half of them.
Ghazl Al Mahalla have also given their fans little to celebrate in the playoffs. They lost four of the six games, picking up one win and one draw. But with only one point separating them from safety, victory over El Gaish this weekend would be huge.
El Gaish vs Ghazl Al Mahalla Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
Scoring goals has been a major problem for El Gaish in recent weeks, with the Army's Vanguards scoring under one goal in each of their last eight outings. Haitham Shaaban’s men failed to score in half of them but the good news is that they didn't concede many goals as only one of those games produced more than two goals.
Ghazl El Mahalla have also struggled offensively lately, failing to score in four of their last five matches, and their recent goalscoring record at Gehaz El Reyada Stadium isn’t good, as they failed to score in either of their last two visits.

Ghazl Al Mahalla team news
Bassam Walid has missed the last 30 games of Ghazl Al Mahalla due to a cruciate ligament injury and Sunday’s game comes too soon for the defender.
The visitors’ injury list also includes defensive midfielder Youssef Hassan who picked up an Achilles tendon injury back in March.
Mory Touré will serve a one match ban on Sunday after his red card in the humiliating 4-0 defeat to El Gouna last week.
