In a decisive Round 6 relegation group match of the Egyptian Premier League, Arab Contractors will host Al Ittihad Alexandria at the Arab Contractors Stadium in Cairo on Thursday, April 23, 2026. Both teams are embroiled in a fierce battle for survival, with only slim margins separating their standings.
Currently, Arab Contractors find themselves in 10th place within the relegation group with 26 points. The team has demonstrated an inconsistent performance lately, alternating between two wins and four draws in their last seven outings. A major concern for the hosts remains their poor conversion rate and the absence of a reliable goal scorer. Nevertheless, they tend to adopt a compact and cautious style of play when at home.
On the other hand, Al Ittihad Alexandria is positioned slightly better at 8th place with 27 points. Under the guidance of Miloud Hamdi, the Alexandrians have recently opted for a defensive approach, resulting in a series of draws and a lone victory. They rely heavily on their offensive star, Mabululu, who poses a constant threat to opposing defenses but will face challenges as injuries plague their defensive and midfield lines.
