Petrojet vs National Bank of Egypt prediction, H2H and probable line-ups - May 28, 2025
One of the Egyptian Premier League Championship clashes will take place on Wednesday at the Petrosport Arena in Cairo, where the local side Petrojet will face off against National Bank of Egypt. Here’s my pick for the outcome of this encounter.
Prediction
Petrojet have been frankly disappointing in the Egyptian Premier League lately. The team has failed to win in six consecutive matches, collecting just a single point in this stretch thanks to an away draw with Pharco (2-2). As a result, after 24 rounds, the team sits eighth in the table and is essentially just playing out the season with nothing left to fight for.
In their most recent match, Petrojet hosted one of the league leaders, Zamalek, and lost 1-3. Previously, they delighted their fans with a home win over Ceramica Cleopatra (1-0) in the League Cup, but that didn’t help much, as they had already lost the first leg of the quarterfinal 2-4.
The "Bankers" are also no longer in contention for a top-three finish or a spot in African competitions. At the moment, the team is sixth in the league standings with 37 points. However, National Bank of Egypt have clearly eased off in recent rounds, failing to win in their last three outings—two defeats and a draw.
In the latest round, the Bankers hosted Al Masry and narrowly lost 0-1. In 13 away matches, National Bank of Egypt have claimed six victories and suffered four defeats. It’s also worth noting their strong away form in front of goal—21 goals scored on the road. Only Zamalek have netted more away from home.
Probable line-ups
- Petrojet: Salah - Bahbah, Reda, Riyad, Kenawy - El-Metwally, Hamdan - Ben Moussa, Tawfik, Gamal – Chukwud
- National Bank of Egypt: El Baloti, El Hazzar, Abdelghani, Bassiouni, Yacoubu, Fathi, Simpor, Ibrahim, Helal, Faishal, Annor
