The Cairo International Stadium will host a compelling Premier League encounter on 18 September as Modern Sport FC welcome ENPPI in Round 7 action. Modern Sport arrive with a mixed but encouraging domestic ledger: five wins, three draws and two defeats in their latest window of results, and a league tally that sits them fifth with ten points from six matches. Their most recent fixture was a narrow 1-0 reverse at the hands of El Geish, a result that should sting but which follows a string of hard-fought victories — including wins over Haras El Hodood and Pyramids — that suggest a team comfortable in tight, productive games.
ENPPI, occupying seventh with nine points, have been stubborn and pragmatic. Their run shows three wins, six draws and just one loss in the broader recent sample, and that resilience was on display in a 1-1 draw with Al Ahly in mid-September after overturning a first-half deficit. ENPPI’s defensive credentials stand out: they’ve recorded four clean sheets in the league so far and conceded only three goals in six matches. That defensive solidity makes them a difficult opponent even on the road.
Numbers underline a contest between attacking intent and defensive organisation. Modern Sport have been active in the final third, registering 57 total shots and 17 on target across their campaign, and their matches have produced more goals overall — two-thirds of their fixtures have gone over 2.5 goals. ENPPI, by contrast, are slightly more conservative: 52 total shots, a healthy 19 on target, but a clear emphasis on shut-down defence, reflected in their four clean sheets and a lower over-2.5 percentage.
Head-to-head history offers another layer. The sides met earlier in the season with ENPPI edging a 2-1 win away, showing they can score against Modern Sport; yet the pendulum tilts back toward the hosts here, both because Modern Sport have home advantage and because bookmakers give them the narrowest edge. The market prices reflect that fine balance: 2.35 for a Modern Sport win (implied probability 42.6%), 2.80 for a draw (35.7%) and 3.30 for an ENPPI victory (30.3%).
Expect a tight, tactical affair where Modern Sport will look to press and create chances inside the box, while ENPPI will aim to frustrate and hit on the counter. Recent individual performances such as Adem Redjem’s showing for Modern Sport and Ahmed El Agouz’s influence for ENPPI underline that decisive contributions can come from players who step up in key moments.
Betting suggestion
Best pick — 1X2 market: Modern Sport FC to win (odds 2.35). Backing the home side is supported by their attacking output at home, the bookmaker’s favourite status and the advantage of playing in Cairo, while ENPPI’s propensity for draws and tight scorelines makes a home victory both probable and value-rich. Stake cautiously; confidence is moderate given ENPPI’s defensive form.
