The Egypt League Cup match between El Gouna FC and NBE SC is scheduled for 23:00. El Gouna FC has been in good form recently, with a record of five wins and one loss in their last six matches. This includes a 2-0 victory against Pyramids FC and a 3-1 away win against Ismaily in the Egypt League Cup. Their offensive and defensive performances have been balanced, averaging two goals per game and conceding only 0.7 goals in their last three matches. They demonstrate strong resilience in away games, but they have had fewer recent home matches, which may require adjustment. NBE SC has a record of three wins, one draw, and two losses in their last six matches. They previously defeated Pyramids FC 6-1 in the League Cup but have drawn their last two league matches. Their attack relies on star players, and they have vulnerabilities in defending against high balls. In their last three encounters, NBE SC has won all matches against El Gouna FC, including a 3-0 victory in the Egyptian Premier League on October 18, 2025. El Gouna FC needs to be cautious of their opponent's wing attacks and set-pieces, with their key midfielder's playmaking being crucial for breaking through. If NBE SC can limit El Gouna FC's wing attacks, they may threaten through counterattacks led by forward Sam Sobhi. Furthermore, El Gouna FC has scored in the first half of their last three League Cup matches, suggesting that an aggressive start could be a winning strategy. The prediction is three stars for this match, with El Gouna FC receiving a +0.25 handicap.
