Ceramica vs El Gaish Prediction: The hosts will be at the top of their game here

Having won the Egyptian League Cup in the previous campaign, Ceramica will be keen to crown their decent campaign by winning the trophy for the second consecutive season when they face off against El Gaish at the Air Defence Stadium on Wednesday. The home team kept it clean in this competition, sharing the spoils once in five matches, unlike the guests who scaled through twice on penalties. The game will be officiated by foreign referees for transparency as Romania Radu Petrescu will be assisted by assistants Rado Gingulak and Vasili Marinescu and fourth referee Bogdan Dometriaki. In contrast, Andrei Cavolletti is aided by video tech referee "VAR" and Sebastian Georgi.

Ceramica

Ceramica have been one of the strongest sides in the division this campaign but somehow lack the bite to kill off teams when they have the opportunity. Aymen Al Rammadi's men have been consistent lately, marching here with a defeat over their last five matches. 

In this competition, they have won four and drawn just once, keeping three clean sheets. 

Ceramica are the defending champions after their heavy (1-4) victory over Al Masry last season. 

El Gaish

Abdelhamid Bassiouni's men won their first game after nine tries as they found the back of the net once to secure the maximum points against El Dakleya on the road. They have also fought their way to the final after knocking out Al Masry on (3-1) penalties. They have also managed two straight wins in their journey here, settling for three share of the spoils. 

The guests have been poor lately, and only victory against their opponent can lift their morale. El Gaish have not recorded a breakthrough in this competition before and it’ll take a decent performance to triumph. 

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous ten, both teams have managed two wins apiece and six games ending in a tie. Ceramica are one of the strongest teams in the division, and only top sides have got the better of them tactically this season. They are blessed with decent attacking talents, with Sodiq Awujoola, Ahmed Kendoucci and Ahmed Belhadji capable of endangering El Gaish's defence. On the other hand, nothing has been going on with the guests lately. Fortunately for them, they won their first game in nine games. El Gaish have managed two goals over their last six games, and we are sure they’ll struggle here.

Ceramica have been here before, following their (1-4) victory over Al Masry last season. They’ll be keen to do it again, and we are backing them in lifting the trophy.

We also expect a great start from the hosts; bet on a home halftime victory for 3.00.

We anticipate a total of over 2.5 goals here for 2.30.

Good luck!
