Prediction Al Ittihad vs Wadi Degla 2025/2026 season – Betting Tips for the Premier League on 27/10/2025

Match context and form guide

Two sides heading in opposite directions meet at Alexandria Stadium on 27 October as Al Ittihad host Wadi Degla in Round 12 of the Egyptian Premier League. Al Ittihad arrive propped up in 18th place after 10 matches, their campaign blighted by defensive frailty and a lack of cutting edge in front of goal. Recent results have been a stop-start affair — a narrow win over Al Mokawloon and a competitive outing away at Al Ahly ended in a 2-1 defeat — but the bigger picture is hard to ignore: just two victories, two draws and six losses, with only six goals scored and 13 conceded. Home returns are particularly worrying; Al Ittihad have managed only three goals at home while shipping seven.

Wadi Degla, by contrast, sit comfortably higher in the table in 7th after 11 matches. Their season has been built on solidity and a knack for grinding out results. A run that includes several draws and a recent victory over Modern Sport FC suggests a side capable of keeping games tight while posing a threat on the counter. Statistically, Wadi Degla create more shots and more shots on target across the campaign and have found the net 12 times while conceding nine. Their away numbers are respectable too, with seven goals scored in away fixtures so far — a significant contrast with Al Ittihad’s struggles at home.

Tactical outlook and key trends

This fixture shapes up as a battle between Al Ittihad’s porous defence and Wadi Degla’s more measured attacking output. Al Ittihad’s averages tell the story: a low scoring rate combined with frequent concessions and middling attacking metrics. Wadi Degla bring higher shot volumes and a slightly better conversion into goals, and their form line suggests resilience — several draws and only three losses reflect a team difficult to break down.

The most recent performances provide additional clues. Al Ittihad’s last outing saw Abubakar Liadi earn praise despite the defeat to Al Ahly, while Wadi Degla’s most recent match featured Ahmed Farouk as their standout performer even in a losing effort. The historical head-to-head is sparse but points to a careful, cagey contest — the last recorded meeting ended in a 0-0 stalemate back in 2021.

Prediction and betting suggestion

Given the contrast in league position, attacking metrics and recent consistency, the sensible call is to back Wadi Degla to take the points. Al Ittihad’s home vulnerability and low goals tally make them an unlikely candidate to overturn a steadier Wadi Degla side that has shown it can compete on the road. Expect a tight game where Wadi Degla’s cleaner defensive profile and superior shot threat edge them ahead.

Betting suggestion (1X2): Wadi Degla to win — this selection reflects Wadi Degla’s better form, superior shooting numbers and Al Ittihad’s troubling home record. Consider a cautious stake given Al Ittihad’s capacity to grind out results at times, but the data points clearly to an away victory as the most probable outcome.
