One of the matches of the 14th round of the Egyptian Premier League will take place on Monday in Cairo, where Ceramica Cleopatra will host ENPPI at the Arab Contractors Stadium. We suggest a bet on the outcome of this match with good chances of success.
Match Preview
Last season, the "Gold and Blood" performed below expectations, finishing in eighth place. However, the coaching staff of Ceramica Cleopatra has learned from their mistakes, as the team started the new campaign successfully and currently sits in fifth place in the standings. After 13 rounds, they have 20 points, trailing the leaders by ten.
In the last round, Ceramica Cleopatra played an away match against ZED and secured a 1-1 draw. As a result, they have now gone three matches without a win—one draw and two losses. At home, the team has recorded two wins and two losses in six matches.
On the other hand, ENPPI finished last season in ninth place. Their start to the new campaign has been far from ideal. In 13 matches, they have managed only one victory while suffering seven defeats. At the moment, ENPPI sits 17th in the league standings.
In the previous round, ENPPI played at home against Al Ittihad and earned a 1-1 draw, which ended their four-match losing streak in the league. However, they have now gone nine matches without a win in the Egyptian Premier League. Moreover, ENPPI has yet to secure an away victory this season, losing four of their seven matches on the road.

- Ceramica Cleopatra: Bassam – Bodi, Mohamed, Nabil, Hani – Adel, Zalaka, Kendoussi – Sadeq, Belhadji, Lakay
- ENPPI: El Sayed – Sabena, Kalosha, Khaled, Fawzi – Nasser, Al Agouz, Hamdi – Sherif, Hawash, Kabu
