Masr vs Ceramica Cleopatra: Bet of the day
The Battle for Premier League Bragging Rights
The Egyptian Premier League heats up as Masr prepares to host Ceramica Cleopatra on August 14, 2025. This mid-to-upper table fixture promises drama, with both teams eyeing crucial points. Masr, struggling for consistency, faces a Ceramica Cleopatra side riding a wave of confidence after their recent 4-0 demolition of Masr in April.
Recent Form: A Tale of Two Teams
Masr’s form has been shaky, winning just 2 of their last 10 matches. Averaging only 1.0 goals per game and conceding 1.1, their defensive frailties could be exploited. With just 4 of those matches seeing over 2.5 goals, their games tend to be tight but lack firepower.
Ceramica Cleopatra, meanwhile, boasts 5 wins in their last 10, scoring 1.4 goals per match. Their possession-heavy style (59% average) and sharper attack make them favorites. Their 4-0 thrashing of Masr in their last meeting adds psychological edge.
Tactical Duel: Pragmatism vs. Attack
Masr’s Tunisian boss Nabil Kouki favors a disciplined, defensive approach. But against Ceramica’s high-pressing, possession-based system under Ali Maher, they may struggle. Maher’s men thrive on midfield creativity and quick transitions—a recipe that worked perfectly in their last encounter.

– Best Bet: X2 (Ceramica Cleopatra Win or Draw) at 1.28 odds (7.6/10 confidence).
– 1X2 Tip: Ceramica Cleopatra Win (2) at 2.10 (5.1/10 confidence).

– Score Prediction: 0-1 (HT: 0-0).
The AI’s X2 tip stands out as the safest play, given Ceramica’s superior form and head-to-head dominance. The under 2.5 aligns with Masr’s low-scoring trends, though their leaky defense raises questions.
Historical Context: A One-Sided Affair?
Ceramica Cleopatra’s 4-1 rout in April was no fluke. Their aggressive style has troubled Masr repeatedly. Even in past seasons, Ceramica has punched above their weight—like their shock 1-1 draw with Al Ahly in 2022 at 5.15 odds.
Final Verdict: Where’s the Smart Money?
With Ceramica’s attacking flair and Masr’s struggles, the X2 bet is the standout choice. For bolder punters, the away win at 2.10 offers value. If you trust Masr’s defense to hold firm, under 2.5 goals could sneak in.
Tune in at 15:00 UTC—this derby could be decided by Ceramica’s clinical edge. Will Masr defy the odds, or will the visitors continue their reign? The stats say: back Ceramica.
