Prediction Al Ittihad vs Kahraba Ismailia 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for the Premier League on 18/09/2025

Match context and mood in Alexandria

The seventh round of the Egyptian Premier League brings a clash heavy with consequence as Al Ittihad welcome Kahraba Ismailia to Alexandria Stadium on 18/09/2025. With the season still in its early phase, Al Ittihad sit 17th with five points from six games while visitors Kahraba Ismailia find themselves adrift at 21st, yet to register a win. The venue on Grinfel Street holds just under twenty thousand fans and Al Ittihad will hope the home turf can coax a reaction after a mixed set of results that has seen more draws than convincing victories.

Form, recent results and tactical shape

Al Ittihad’s recent string features tight, low-scoring affairs: draws against Pharco and National Bank of Egypt, a narrow away victory at Ismaily and heavy enough reverse to ENPPI. Their campaign shows only three goals scored and eight conceded overall, but a noteworthy three clean sheets indicate a side capable of grinding out results at times. The statistical picture supports a team that does not create an avalanche of chances — their average shots per game hover around 10.67 — but they do manufacture enough to trouble an inconsistent rival.

Kahraba Ismailia arrive on the back of bruising defeats, including a 1-4 reverse to Wadi Degla and 0-4 at Al Masry. The visitors have leaked 14 goals in six outings and have yet to taste victory. Their attacking numbers show some promise — five goals scored — and their matches have often been open, reflected in a higher over-2.5 rate. Yet the absence of clean sheets and a run of losses paint a picture of defensive fragility that could be decisive against a home team eyeing stability.

Prediction and anticipated pattern

Expect a match tilted towards Al Ittihad, who combine home composure with a defense that has shown it can keep opponents at bay. Kahraba Ismailia’s recent defensive lapses and winless run make them vulnerable, particularly away from home. This looks like a fixture where Al Ittihad can pick up the three points, albeit probably in a match that won’t explode with goals. A narrow home victory is the most probable outcome given the balance of statistics and recent form.
