Tala Al Gaish vs Kahraba Ismailia prediction, H2H and probable lineups - December 27, 2025
Kahrbaa Ismailia
The latest stage of the Egypt Cup pits Tala Al Gaish against Kahraba Ismailia this Saturday at the Sports Gymnasium Stadium in Cairo. Here’s a betting tip for this clash with promising odds for success.
Match preview
Tala Al Gaish are enduring a rough season, languishing in the lower reaches of the Premier League table. After 14 games, the team has only 11 points and sits in 17th place, already nine points adrift of the top seven.
Their league form has been dire, with no wins since mid-September. However, things have looked a bit brighter in cup competitions. In their last four cup outings across various tournaments, Tala Al Gaish have notched up two victories, including a 2-0 home win over Ceramica Cleopatra in the League Cup and a 2-0 triumph against Al-Sekka in the Egypt Cup.
On the other side, Kahraba Ismailia have been underwhelming. The team has managed just two wins in 14 Premier League rounds and sits rock bottom with only 8 points. Kahraba have lost their last five league fixtures.
Their cup journey hasn’t been much better. True, they pulled off a sensational extra-time win away at Al-Ittihad in the previous round of the Egypt Cup, but couldn’t build on that in the League Cup. At home, Kahraba Ismailia drew 3-3 with Zamalek, and then played out another draw, again at home, against familiar foes Al-Ittihad.
Probable lineups
- Tala Al Gaish: Shaaban, Awad, Camacho, Eldi, Abdel, Hamdy, Madadha, Atef, Hany, Yarek, Ismail
- Kahraba Ismailia: El-Gabri, Koshari, Abouozra, El-Khashab, El-Fayoumi, Suleiman, Hani, Sheta, Maradona, Shika, Medhat
Match facts and head-to-head
- The teams have met just once before, back in December 2016, when Tala Al Gaish claimed a 2-1 win in the cup
- Kahraba Ismailia’s last three matches have all seen both teams score
- The "over 2.5 goals" bet has landed in only one of the last five Tala Al Gaish matches
Prediction
Bookmakers rate both teams’ chances equally, and that makes sense. This looks set to be a tight, cagey affair with few chances, so the best option here is to back "Under 2.0 total goals" at odds of 1.59.
