Al Ahly vs WE Sports Club prediction, H2H and probable lineups - December 27, 2025
One of the Egyptian Cup first-round clashes will take place on Saturday at the Al Salam Stadium in Cairo, where one of Egypt’s football giants, Al Ahly, will face second-division side WE Sports Club. I suggest betting on goal productivity in this encounter, offering strong chances for success.
Match preview
The "Red Devils" have recently looked like a shadow of themselves, struggling to find any consistency in their results. Since early September, the capital club has played 14 matches across all competitions without a single defeat. However, December has already seen them suffer two losses in just three games.
In the League Cup, Al Ahly suffered a narrow 0-1 home defeat to ENPPI, then bounced back with a 1-0 away win over an in-form Ceramica Cleopatra. Yet, in their most recent outing, the Red Devils disappointed again, falling 1-2 to Ghazl El Mahalla.
Their opponents, WE Sports Club, currently compete in Egypt’s second division and are fighting for promotion. After 16 rounds, WE SC have notched up six wins and only two defeats, amassing 26 points and sitting fifth in the league table.
WE Sports Club approach this high-profile clash on the back of an away victory over bottom side Al Sekka, winning 2-1. Overall, in their last five second-division matches, WE Sports Club have lost just once and picked up two wins. Remarkably, back in 2008, WE Sports Club managed to surprise Al Ahly and snatch points away from home, though the overall balance in this pairing heavily favors the favorite.
Probable lineups
- Al Ahly: El Shenawy, Omar, Marei, Ibrahim, Hany, Attia, Zizo, Ali, Trezeguet, Bencharki, Neitz
- WE Sports Club: Ashraf, El Henawy, Samaka, Afroto, Eid Abdallah, Shawky, Shadad, Gharib, Halawa, Bahaa, Maro
Match facts and head-to-head history
- The teams met four times in the late 2000s, with Al Ahly claiming three victories
- The "Both teams to score" bet landed in three of Al Ahly’s last five matches
- The "Both teams to score" bet also landed in three of WE SC’s last five games
Prediction
The favorite here is crystal clear, and betting on a straight Al Ahly win at odds of 1.32 doesn’t offer much value. We believe Al Ahly won’t go all out in this match, making "Under 2.5 goals" at odds of 1.78 a logical pick.
