Petrojet vs National Bank of Egypt prediction, H2H and probable lineups - December 31, 2025
Petrojet
National Bank of Egypt
One of the matches of the 4th round of the Egypt League Cup will take place on New Year's Eve at the PetroSport Arena in Cairo, where the local side Petrojet will host National Bank of Egypt. I'm offering a bet on the outcome of this clash with a solid chance of success.
Match preview
Petrojet are in fine form, having won four out of their last five matches this month. Earlier in December, they managed a 2-2 home draw against Pyramids, one of the giants of Egyptian football. Currently, the club sits ninth in the Premier League table with 19 points, just one behind ZED in the top nine.
It's worth highlighting Petrojet's performances at home, where they've lost only once in the league this season. The "Green and Whites" also started strong in the League Cup, picking up maximum points in their opening fixtures against Wadi Degla and Ismaily.
As for the "Bankers," the team has been somewhat unpredictable of late. On one hand, National Bank of Egypt haven't lost in regulation time since early October, when they suffered a home defeat to Al Masry. However, in their last nine matches, they've managed just two wins, drawing seven times in regular time.
In the league, the National Bank sit 11th but are just three points away from the top nine and still have a shot at the playoffs. Their League Cup start was a huge surprise, thrashing Pyramids 6-1 away, but they couldn't build on that momentum. Draws followed against Modern Sport and El Gouna. In their most recent outing, the "Bankers" lost to ENPPI in extra time and were knocked out of the Egypt Cup.
Probable lineups
- Petrojet: Salah, Tawfik, Hemdan, Reyad, Kenawy, Mostafa, Hamed, Dudu, Rashid, Diabate, Sonko
- National Bank of Egypt: El Balouti, Dowidar, El Gazzar, El Nadry, Oufa, Fathi, Ashraf, Wahid, Madbouli, Shalabi, Faisal

Prediction
