CAIRO (Interstat) — Ceramica Cleopatra Club hosts El Masry SC on Friday, May 1, 2026, in an Egyptian Premier League match at a venue to be announced. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. local time.

The matchup carries weight for both sides as the season enters its final months. Ceramica Cleopatra enters the game winless in its last four matches across all competitions, with three draws and a loss. Its most recent outing, on March 5, ended in a 2-2 home draw against National Bank of Egypt. The club last won on Feb. 5, a 3-2 decision over Ghazl El Mahalla.

El Masry SC, meanwhile, arrives on a three-match unbeaten streak. The visitors beat Smouha 1-0 on Monday, April 27, following a 2-2 draw at ENPPI on April 22 and another 2-2 draw at El Gouna on March 30. El Masry’s record over its last six games reads three wins, two draws and one defeat.

The teams met twice this season. In the most recent head-to-head, Jan. 28, El Masry defeated Ceramica Cleopatra 3-2 on its home ground. That result extended El Masry’s winning streak against Ceramica Cleopatra to two games, dating to the 2024-25 campaign.

Ceramica Cleopatra’s form has been inconsistent. Over its last 10 matches, the club recorded three wins, four draws and three losses. It has scored 13 goals in that span but conceded 12. El Masry has been slightly more effective, with four wins, four draws and two losses across its last 10, outscoring opponents 15-11.

Injury reports were not immediately available, but neither team reported major suspensions ahead of the match.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the projected final score is Ceramica Cleopatra 1, El Masry SC 1 (Interstat) — a result that would leave both clubs with a point. A draw also would mirror their most recent meeting’s final margin, though El Masry won that contest by a single goal.

Ceramica Cleopatra sits mid-table, while El Masry is pushing for a top-four finish. Friday’s match could have implications for the league’s African club competition qualifying spots.
