Haras El Hodood vs Ismaily prediction, H2H and probable lineups - December 1, 2025
One of the Egyptian Cup first round clashes will take place on Monday at the Harras El Hodood Stadium in Alexandria, where local side Haras El Hodood hosts Ismaily. I suggest a bet on the outcome of this matchup, which offers solid chances for success.
Match preview
Haras El Hodood comes into their Cup opener in noticeably poor form. The club has failed to win any of their last five Premier League fixtures and has claimed victory only twice throughout the autumn. In their most recent five outings, they've managed just two points, thanks to draws with Ghazl El Mahalla and Wadi Degla.
In their last league match, the team traveled to face Petrojet and suffered a 1-3 defeat, conceding the decisive two goals in the 90+1st and 90+3rd minutes. As a result, after 13 matches played, the team has collected only 13 points and sits in 15th place in the league table.
As for Ismaily, their recent league form hasn't been much better. In their last game, they secured a 2-1 home win over Kahraba Ismailia, and before that, also at home, they defeated Haras El Hodood 3-1.
Prior to these victories, Ismaily endured a six-match losing streak, during which they struggled immensely in attack, scoring just once over that entire stretch. However, two wins in their last three fixtures allowed the team to climb off the bottom of the table, and Ismaily now sits 19th with 10 points.
Probable lineups
- Haras El Hodood: Zanfli, Mohamed, Hakim, Salima, Badri, Roku, Magli, Khadham, Nayad, Damilola, Gamal
- Ismaily: Adel, Mohamed, Ammar, Mostafa, Ehab, Katkot, Samir, Farag, Abdelsamya, Hatari, Abdelsalam
Match facts and head-to-head
- In the last five head-to-head meetings, both teams have two wins each, all on home turf
- The "both teams to score" bet has landed in the last two encounters
- The over 2.5 goals market has come through in each of the last three matches
Prediction
The bookmakers favor the home side, despite Ismaily having won the most recent meeting. However, that victory came on Ismaily's home ground, and the home advantage is crucial in this pairing. Our bet for the match is "Haras El Hodood (0) Asian handicap" at odds of 1.55.
