Pyramids hold the upper hand in their head-to-head record against Petrojet, having avoided defeat for a full decade while claiming five victories in that span, although one of the three draws during that period came earlier this season when the sides shared the spoils in an entertaining four-goal league encounter.
Pyramids team overview
Among all competitors in this year’s Egyptian League Cup, Pyramids FC have made one of the weakest impressions. The side currently sit anchored at the bottom of Group B with a meagre three points from five matches played.
These performances sharply contrast with their domestic league form, where Pyramids occupy second place in the Egyptian Premier League with 27 points, trailing only the surprise leaders and table-toppers Ceramica Cleopatra.
In terms of their League Cup campaign, the results paint a bleak picture. The poor points haul means Krunoslav Juric’s squad has already been eliminated from knockout contention ahead of the final group stage round. However, this underwhelming showing should not come as a surprise, as the manager has opted to field youth players throughout the tournament.
For the final group game, the Croatian coach is expected to rotate his squad once again. The team is boosted by the return of Pascal Phiri and Fiston Mayele, who have rejoined the squad following their respective international duties at AFCON.

Petrojet team overview
Meanwhile, Petrojet head into this decisive group-stage clash against Pyramids in excellent shape, currently sitting atop Group B in the Egyptian League Cup standings with an impressive haul of 12 points from five matches.
Their momentum was slightly checked last time out, as the Jets suffered a 2-0 home defeat to Modern Sport — their first loss after an imperious run of six wins and one draw across all competitions — bringing an end to what had been a flying start to the campaign.
A key factor behind Petrojet’s strong League Cup showing has been the fluidity and efficiency of their attacking unit, particularly away from Suez. They have won both of their road fixtures in the competition, finding the net five times, and will once again rely on their attacking prowess as they look to secure top spot in the group.
Manager Yasser Bahaa El Din is expected to field a strong lineup for the final group fixture, hoping his side can once again frustrate Pyramids FC, after holding them to an entertaining 2-2 draw in their first league meeting of the season.

Prediction
This Group B clash pits the tactical discipline of table-topping Petrojet against the wounded pride and historical dominance of African champions Pyramids FC. Pyramids FC are enduring a mini-crisis, not just in terms of their league cup standing, but also a burgeoning injury list that includes key players Hamdy, Lasheen, and Sobhi. The psychological blow of a recent 4-0 thrashing against Wadi Degla will also test their mental fortitude.
Considering Petrojet's strong start to the tournament and Pyramids' immediate need to arrest a slide, we anticipate a cagey affair. Pyramids FC will leverage their home advantage and historical dominance to restore parity in the group. With both sides having significant narratives—Petrojet aiming to maintain their surprise lead and Pyramids striving for redemption—we predict a fiercely contested battle that ultimately ends in a share of the spoils.
Three Reasons we expect Draw
- Petrojet have collected 12 of a possible 15 points from their first five League Cup fixtures.
- Pyramids have lost all but one of their opening five League Cup matches.
- Two of the last three meetings between these rivals have ended in draws.
