For Pyramids FC, the current Egypt League Cup presents a vital opportunity to restore their image. After two group stage matches, they suffered a 1:6 defeat to the National Bank of Egypt and a 0:2 away loss to El Gouna, leaving them at the bottom of the table with 0 points and a goal difference of -7, with only a theoretical chance of advancing. Ismaily's situation is also challenging. They have only won 2 matches in 16 league rounds, ranking third from the bottom. However, they remain undefeated in the cup with 1 win and 1 draw, currently second in their group. If they can defeat their rivals in this away match, they will firmly grasp the initiative to qualify. Pyramids FC's recent form shows 2 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss in their last 6 official matches, with a win rate of 33%. However, both losses occurred in the cup. Their home form remains reliable, with 4 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in their last 6 home matches, scoring 12 goals, and a win rate of 67%. The team has a full squad, with an official report stating 'no injured players' before the match, allowing the coach to field the strongest possible lineup. Ismaily has been winless in the league for 7 consecutive rounds (3 draws and 4 losses), with a goal difference of 5:12, indicating a weak attack. They have a clear away record: only 1 win in the last 10 away matches across seasons, with an average of 1.8 goals conceded per game. The positive aspect is that they have 4 points from 2 cup rounds, slightly boosting their morale. However, the quality of their opponents has been average (1:1 draw with mid-table Arab Contractors, and a narrow 1:0 victory over a promoted team). Match Prediction: Under 3 goals
