- Competition: Egyptian Premier League
- Date: 7th May 2025
- Kick-off: 18:00 UK / 19:00 CEST
- Venue: Ismailia Stadium
Two of the bottom three sides in Egypt’s top flight meet on Wednesday evening as Ismaily play host to ENPPI.
Ismaily have been on the decline in recent years, with the hosts finishing the regular season in 16th place after being in the bottom five in the previous campaign. Tamer Mostafa's side have been hard to beat in recent weeks, however, losing just one of their last eight games and also recording four clean sheets.
ENPPI, meanwhile, are just three points off the foot of the table. Hamza El Gamal's men put their two-game winning streak to the test last weekend when they hosted El Gouna. Despite having more possession and completing almost double the number of passes as their guests, the Petroleum Club lost 1-0 and will be looking to respond on Wednesday.
Ismaily SC vs ENPPI Betting Tips: Draw & under 2.5 goals
Most of the recent meetings between these two sides have ended in draws, with four of the last six games ending level, and I fancy Wednesday's game to end similarly.
Ismaily have been very solid defensively of late, conceding just three goals in their last four games, with the same number of games ending under 2.5 goals.
ENPPI are also enjoying a great run of form at the back in all competitions. The visitors have conceded just three goals in their last seven matches, with five of those games ending with just one goal scored.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

ENPPI team news
ENPPI didn’t suffer any injuries in the defeat to El Gouna last weekend but head coach Hamza El Gamal is expected to make changes to his XI.
Having featured as substitutes in that game, Ziad Kamal and Salah Mohamed Zayed are among those who will be hoping to benefit from this reshuffle.
