Second League: Group B
These teams met last season, when they both competed in the Premier League. Interestingly, both teams won their road games - Wadi Degla 4:1 and Kahrabaa Ismailia 2:1. Looking further back, these teams have met six times, with Wadi Degla winning three times and Kahrabaa Ismailia securing one win.
When it comes to the number of goals, four out of six h2h games ended with three or more goals, while both teams scored in the same number of games (four).
Wadi Degla team overview
Wadi Degla finished last season in the Relegation Group, but eventually topped the group, proving they were the best team there. This season, they once again started the season poorly, and it seems that the Championship Group is pretty distant. After the first eight rounds, they are in 15th place, with a mere seven points! However, in recent games, we could see some improvements as they only lost once in five games across competitions, with the loss being to the first-placed team in the Premier League - Pyramids.
According to credible sources, coach Mostafa Shebeita should have almost the entire squad available. Only Ahmed Dahroug is listed as questionable after missing the previous five games due to a thigh injury. However, he is not one of their key players and his absence shouldn't be such a big problem.

Kahraba Ismailia team overview
Kahrabaa Ismailia played in the Premier League last season but got relegated from 18th place - four points away from the safe zone. This year, they will be eager to return and are surely among the favorites to do so. After 11 rounds, they are in 3rd place with 21 points - just one point away from the top spot. In fact, in the last game they beat Masar 2:1, who are in the top spot, and will surely be highly motivated after such an important win. Generally speaking, they were on a mini-bad run in early October, but the win against Masar could really change that momentum.
As for absences, there are very few credible sources covering Kahrabaa Ismailia. However, those sources say the Division 2 A side should have a full squad for the big game against Wadi Degla.

Prediction
Even though Egyptian teams mostly play low-scoring games, Wadi Degla went over 2.5 goals in two of the previous four, while Kahrabaa Ismailia went over the mentioned line in three of the past four matches!
Kahrabaa Ismailia generally had problems defensively, allowing six goals in those last four games. Those goals were conceded by Division 2 A teams, and it is hard to expect they can do a great job defensively against a Premier League side.
Moreover, the last two h2h games ended with three or more goals. Considering all the above, an over 2.5 goals bet seems like the best possible bet for this Egyptian Cup tie.
3 Reasons why we should see three or more goals
- Wadi Degla went over 2.5 goals in two out of the last four games
- Kahrabaa Ismailia went over 2.5 goals in three of the past four games
- The last two h2h games ended with three or more goals
