The Egyptian Premier League continues today, Monday, with two exciting encounters in Matchday 12, as fans eagerly await another round full of drama and competition ⚽🔥.
In the first match, Smouha host El Gouna at 5:00 PM at Alexandria Stadium. Coach Ahmed Abdel Aziz’s side is seeking to bounce back from their recent draw with Al Masry and return to winning ways.
Smouha enter the game with 15 points, while El Gouna sit on 12 points and have struggled for form lately, managing just one win in their last five matches, alongside three draws and one defeat.
Smouha are facing several injury absences, including Amr El Sisi, Hesham Hafez, Islam Atiya, and Emad Fathy — a challenge for the young coach as he aims to push his team up the table.
On the other side, El Gouna coach Ahmed Mostafa “Bibo” is expected to start with: Mohamed Alaa in goal; a defensive line of Abdel-Gawad, Saber El Sheimy, Ahmed Abdel Rasoul, and Khaled Seddik; a midfield trio of Nour El Sayed, Hafez Ibrahim, and Belal El Sayed; and an attacking trio of Arno, Mohamed El Nahhas, and Ali El Zahidy.
In the second match, Wadi Degla face Al Ittihad of Alexandria at 8:00 PM in another round 12 clash.
Wadi Degla have collected 16 points from 11 games, winning 4, drawing 4, and losing 3, scoring 12 goals and conceding 9.
Al Ittihad, meanwhile, remain on 8 points after their last defeat to league leaders Al Ahly. The club filed an official complaint to the Egyptian FA citing repeated refereeing errors during recent matches.
Coach Mohamed El Sheikh received a major boost ahead of the match, as Kobina and Ali Hussein returned from injury and are ready to feature after missing several fixtures.
Meanwhile, Al Ittihad’s management has begun planning for the winter transfer window, aiming to sign four new players — a winger, a defender, a midfielder, and a left-back — to strengthen the team for the second half of the season 💪🟢.
