The Egyptian Premier League returns this Friday after the international break, during which the Egyptian national team secured qualification for the 2026 World Cup for the fourth time in its history 🇪🇬⚽.
All clubs used the break to prepare through friendly matches and intensive training sessions, aiming to improve their form and regain momentum before the next rounds.
The title race has become more intense than ever, with only two points separating the top six teams after ten rounds. These teams are Al Masry, Zamalek, Al Ahly, Ceramica Cleopatra, ENPPI, and Wadi Degla, making this one of the most competitive seasons in recent years 🏆🔥.
Both Al Ahly and Ceramica Cleopatra have an advantage with postponed matches, which could help them climb to the top if they secure wins in those games.
🔵 Pyramids Poised to Seize the Lead
Pyramids FC currently has 14 points from 7 matches and three postponed fixtures. If they win them all, they would reach 23 points — enough to take the lead.
The team’s confidence is high after their impressive continental victories against Auckland City and Al Ahli Saudi FC, the latter away in Jeddah with a 3–1 scoreline 💪🌍.
⚪ Zamalek’s Rest Week Puts Its Position at Risk
Due to the 21-team league format, one club rests each round, and Zamalek will have its bye week during Matchday 11.
This rest could cost Zamalek its second-place position, as just one win from the chasing teams would be enough to overtake them in the standings.
🟡 Four Clubs Desperate to End Their Winless Runs
Four teams are under huge pressure to get back to winning ways after poor recent results Ismaily, Al Mokawloon, Pharco, and Ghazl El Mahalla.
Ismaily’s crisis deepened with five consecutive defeats, while Al Mokawloon failed to win in their last five games, Pharco recorded five straight draws, and Ghazl El Mahalla went five games without victory.
