Wadi Degla vs Al Mokawloon Al Arab: prediction, head-to-head and probable line-ups – 5 February 2026
Wadi Degla FC
One of the fixtures of the 17th round of the Egyptian Premier League will take place on Thursday at the Petro Sport Arena in Cairo, where local side Wadi Degla will host Arab Contractors. I suggest a bet on goals in this clash, with a good chance of success.
Match preview
Wadi Degla started the year strongly, going unbeaten in four matches and picking up three wins along the way. That run ended, rather predictably, last week when they traveled to face Al Ahly, one of the giants of Egyptian football, and fell 1-3.
Currently, Wadi Degla sit eighth in the league standings, teetering on the edge of the top seven. They are separated from seventh-placed ZED by just a single point. In eight home matches in the Egyptian Premier League, Wadi Degla have collected 12 points – just over half of their season tally.
As for Arab Contractors, they, like Wadi Degla, put together a six-match unbeaten streak – four wins and two draws. However, aside from their victory over Ismaily, all those wins came in the Egypt Cup. In their most recent league outing, Arab Contractors hosted National Bank of Egypt and narrowly lost 0-1, conceding the decisive goal in the 90th minute.
At the moment, the club sits only 15th in the standings, trailing their upcoming opponents by 10 points. It’s worth noting that in their last three away league matches, Arab Contractors have picked up two wins. They also have a strong record in recent head-to-heads against Wadi Degla – two wins and a draw in their last three meetings.
