Haras El-Hodood vs ENPPI: Prediction, H2H and probable lineups — February 24, 2026
Haras El Hodoud
On Tuesday, February 24, in an Egyptian Premier League clash, Haras El-Hodood will host ENPPI on their home turf. The current league table paints a clear picture: one team is desperate to escape relegation, while the other is eager to finally start winning more often than settling for draws.
Match preview
Haras El-Hodood are in a dire situation. After 18 rounds, they sit 18th with just 14 points to their name. Just a few days ago, on February 20, they faced powerhouse Zamalek and, as expected, lost 0-2, conceding both goals in the dying minutes of the match. The hosts’ main problems remain converting chances and defending under pressure. Against ENPPI, they'll have to punch above their weight to scrape even a single point, as the relegation zone is breathing right down their necks.
ENPPI, under their current coaching staff, have solidified their place in mid-table, currently 11th. The team has become true masters of compromise: 9 draws in 16 matches make them one of the toughest to beat, but also slow when it comes to racking up points. In the last round, they shared the spoils with National Bank of Egypt (0-0). ENPPI boast one of the league’s most reliable defenses, conceding just 12 goals—a solid stat for a mid-table side. They can shut a game down so effectively that opponents are left frustrated and out of ideas.
Tactically, expect a classic survival battle against disciplined pragmatism. Haras El-Hodood, playing at home, will likely try to be more aggressive than usual, but that’s a risk, as ENPPI love to catch their rivals on the counterattack. The visitors will probably cede initiative and wait for their moment—either from set pieces or lightning-fast wing play.
Probable lineups
Haras El-Hodood: El Zanfaly, Awad, Abdelghani, Abou-Salima, El-Badry, Roqa, Cooper, Ouka, El Sheikh, Zaki, Gamal
ENPPI: Samir, Ali Fawzi, Kalosha, Hamed, Sabiha, El Nadry, Shakshak, Nasser, Kabou, Oufa, Garba
