Tala’ea El Gaish vs Al Mokawloon Al Arab: Match Prediction , Preview, Lineups, H2h for September 23, 2025

Tala’ea El Gaish will play against Arab Contractors in the eighth round of the Egyptian Premier League. The match is scheduled for Tuesday, September 23, in Cairo, with kick-off at 19:00 Central European Time. A focus on the total number of goals scored in the game is expected.

Match Preview

This season, Tala’ea El Gaish has displayed a solid organization, particularly when playing at home. The team maintains a compact shape, effectively covering space and limiting risks near their goal. However, they often lose concentration towards the end of each half, which leads to conceding goals.

Offensively, El Gaish relies on fast attacks down the wings and set pieces, though their scoring has been inconsistent. Their physical readiness allows them to compete fiercely, often taking points from matches where opponents are not fully focused. This makes them a challenging opponent and, when facing teams of similar strength, they aim to capitalize on home advantage.

In their last five matches, only four goals have been scored involving El Gaish, highlighting their cautious style. With eight points from seven matches, they currently rank 14th in the league.

Arab Contractors are known for their strong defense. In the 2025/26 season, they have prioritized safety, especially away from home. This strategy prevents heavy losses but limits their scoring, resulting in low-scoring matches.

They depend on quick counterattacks and set pieces but seldom dominate possession, leading to close matches with few goals. Their defensive discipline is their greatest strength, allowing them to defend well against stronger teams. However, this often compromises their attacking creativity; when opponents defend deeply, they struggle to generate and convert chances.

The start of the season has been challenging for them: four points, no wins, and only two goals scored. Their position in 19th place reflects these difficulties.
