The Egyptian Premier League is the quietest league we track. It averaged 2.27 goals a match in our sample, and 0-0 is as common as 1-0. Four scores, 0-1, 0-0, 1-0 and 1-1, cover half of all matches, and there are only 29 different results in the data. For correct score, that makes it unusual: the low-scoring results really are the likely ones.
The table below lists Egyptian fixtures with a predicted score for each. The predictions come from an outside provider and we show them as published. The notes use 459 regular-round matches from 2023/24 and the first phase of 2024/25 to show how Egyptian scores behave.

How a correct score bet works
The bet wins only if the match ends exactly as you named it after 90 minutes plus added time. Extra time and penalties don’t count in most bookmakers’ rules. Own goals count for the team credited with them, and an abandoned or postponed match is normally void. Rules vary between bookmakers, so check yours.
The scores in the Premier League
| Score | Share of matches |
|---|---|
| 0-1 | 12.9% |
| 0-0 | 12.6% |
| 1-0 | 12.2% |
| 1-1 | 12.0% |
| 1-2 | 7.8% |
| 2-1 | 7.2% |
| 2-2 | 5.4% |
| 2-0 | 5.0% |
| 0-2 | 5.0% |
The first four scores each cover about 12%, and between them they make up half of all matches. The top five cover 58%, higher than in any other league we counted. It’s the only league where the commonest score is an away win, 0-1.
Goals averaged 2.27 a match. Only 40% of matches went over 2.5 and 22% went over 3.5. Both teams scored in only 46%. Matches with one goal or none were 38% of the total, and four goals or more happened in 22%.
Weak home advantage
Home sides won 37% of matches, drew 31% and lost 32%. That’s the weakest home edge we’ve found. The home side scored 1.20 goals a game and the visitors 1.07, and the home side was scoreless in 33% of matches and the away side in 34%.
A home win by exactly one goal was 22% of matches, and by two goals or more only 15%. An away win by two or more was 10%. So big wins are rare, with only 10% of matches won by three goals or more, and a predicted 3-0 or 0-3 is a long shot.
How many goals
| Goals in the match | Share of matches |
|---|---|
| 0 | 12.6% |
| 1 | 25.1% |
| 2 | 22.0% |
| 3 | 18.7% |
| 4 | 11.3% |
| 5 | 6.5% |
| 6 or more | 3.7% |
One goal is the commonest total at 25%, and the three lowest totals together (none, one or two) make up 60% of matches. That’s the mirror image of the Bundesliga, where four goals is the commonest. In Egypt a match with five or more goals appeared in only one game in ten.
Two seasons compared
| 2023/24 (306 matches) | 2024/25 first phase (153 matches) | |
|---|---|---|
| Goals per match | 2.39 | 2.04 |
| Both teams scored | 50% | 39% |
| 0-0 draws | 10.8% | 16.3% |
| Commonest score | 1-1 (12.7%) | 0-0 (16.3%) |
In 2024/25 the league got even quieter. Goals fell to about two a match, and 0-0 became the single commonest score, at 16% of games. 0-1 and 1-0 were next.
The 2024/25 figure is only a first phase of 153 matches, so it could move. But the season records show no season above 2.39 goals a match in the last four, so the low scoring isn’t a one-season quirk.
The table and the format
Al Ahly finished top in 2023/24 on 85 points, with Pyramids on 79 and Zamalek third on 59.
In the last five seasons Al Ahly won the title three times and Zamalek twice, the most recent being Zamalek in 2025/26.
The format changed too. Until 2023/24, 18 clubs played each other twice. In 2024/25 they played each other once and then split into championship and relegation groups.
The 2025/26 league had 21 clubs in a similar two-phase format. In the first phase of 2024/25, Pyramids led after 17 rounds on 42 points, three ahead of Al Ahly.
Five rules we follow
- Start with 1-0, 0-1, 0-0 and 1-1. They’re half the league.
- Don’t dismiss 0-0. It’s 12.6% overall and 16% in the latest data.
- Don’t expect goals. Only 40% of matches went over 2.5.
- Expect narrow results. Home wins by two or more were 15%.
- Keep stakes small. No score is above 13%, and four are nearly level.
Common mistakes
The commonest mistake is applying a European template. A 2-1 is only 7% of Egyptian matches, and a 2-2 only 5%.
Another is assuming the home side wins. Home sides won 37% and away sides 32%.
The third is predicting an away win only by a single goal. 0-1 is the commonest score in the league, but 0-2 is only 5%.
Reading an Egyptian row
If the table gives 1-0, 0-1, 1-1 or 0-0, you’re in the four most likely scores, and the odds between them are close. A predicted 2-1 or 1-2 is a fair pick, at about 7% to 8%, but it’s already a less common result. A predicted 3-0 or 3-1 would be unusual, because only 10% of matches were won by three goals or more.
