Pyramids FC vs El Ismaily prediction 25.12.2025 | Egypt League Cup

Pyramids have shown a strong attacking presence throughout the 2025/26 season, averaging approximately 1.86 goals per match across recent fixtures and recording a high proportion of games with over 1.5 total goals up until the second week of December. However, their momentum has recently dipped sharply, with Krunoslav Juričić’s side suffering three consecutive defeats across all competitions, including League Cup losses to El Gouna and National Bank.

In terms of squad availability, Pyramids will be without key winger Ramadan Sobhi, who is suspended, marginally reducing their creative output. Additional concerns include potential minor absences due to muscle injuries - such as Hatem Sukar - as well as longer-term fitness issues that may affect squad rotation and depth.

El Ismaily’s recent form has also been inconsistent, marked by limited attacking output and a string of defeats. In their last five matches prior to this League Cup fixture, Ismaily recorded multiple losses and only sporadic victories, underlining ongoing issues with momentum and scoring efficiency. Like Pyramids, the visitors are currently enduring a three-match losing streak, two of which came in the Egyptian League Cup against Petrojet and El Gouna.

Injury reports indicate that Hatem Sukar and Marwan Hamdi are among the absentees, which could further restrict Ismaily’s attacking options and reduce their ability to influence the game in the final third.
