Ceramica Cleopatra vs Olympic El QanahPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Ceramica Cleopatra closed last season's Premier League with a fairly contained run of results, three one-goal draws against Pyramids FC, Enppi and Al Ahly, mixed in with two narrow defeats and a 2-0 win over Smouha SC. Olympic El Qanah arrive up from the Second Division with a more mixed record, a 3-1 win over Dayrout and a 2-1 win over Baladiyyat Al Mehalla alongside two narrow losses, 1-2 against both Proxy and El Dakhleya. The two clubs have no history against each other, and meet for the first time in this new Premier League season. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
