- Competition: Egyptian League Cup
- Date: 4th June 2025
- Kick-off: 18:00 UK / 19:00 CEST
- Venue: Cairo International Stadium
A huge clash awaits us on Wednesday night at the Cairo International Stadium, where the National Bank of Egypt will face ENPPI in the first leg of the Egyptian League Cup semi-final.
National Bank of Egypt secured their spot in this round with a comfortable 3-0 aggregate victory over Modern Future, while ENPPI overcame Haras El Hodoud in their own quarter-final.
The hosts' only solid performance in recent weeks was in the Egyptian Cup. Tarek Mostafa’s men have not won any of their last four league games, suffering two defeats and playing out two draws. A source of motivation for the Knights ahead of this week's semi-final is that they ended their run of three consecutive games without a clean sheet against Petrojet last time out.
ENPPI's form over the last few weeks has also been poor and they are without a win or a clean sheet in each of their last four matches. However, like their opponents, the Petroleum Club have been hard to beat in that period, avoiding defeat in each of their last five Premier League games.

Mahmoud Saber has missed the last three National Bank of Egypt games due to an ankle ligament injury, and he will not be fit in time for Wednesday’s game.
There are no other injuries or suspensions, so head coach Tarek Mostafa could use the same side that started against Al Ittihad last time.
