Game week two of the Premier League season and the sides have adjusted from insights gained in the first game. Here's the Al Ahly - National Bank of Egypt preview:

There have been limited time to rest for the host team, as they were involved in a Premier League game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Ismaily, so at least Ahly are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Al Ahly form and stats

In the previous season, Al Ahly's league statistics were 22 wins, 10 draws and 2 losses, results that produced 2nd position in the Premier League. In these 34 matches they scored 72 goals and conceded 29. Appearing at home in the previous season Al Ahly managed 10-6-1 (win-draw-lost) with 38 goals and 16 conceded.

Ahly enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Ismaily's place. The match ended 4-0 with Ali Maâloul, Ahmed Hamdi Abdelkader and Percy Tau (2) scoring. As mentioned above, Ahly "killed" Ismaily in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

Previous to that game, a CAF Champions League home match hosting USGN in a game that was won 6-1.

National Bank of Egypt form and stats

Let's have a look at how National Bank of Egypt performed last season in the Premier League: They landed a 14th position in the league table after playing out 6 victories, 17 draws and 11 defeats. In total they scored 39 and conceded 44 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 8 and lost 5 with 23/25 goals scored/conceded.

Moussa Diawara and Mohamed Helal (2) scored in National's previous match, the home game against El Geish that ended 3-0.

A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Zamalek.

As mentioned above, the bookmakers do not believe the away team will get anything from this match. Checking National's match history for similar games we find one match. The home team won zero of these as expected, zero of them by at least two goals. National Bank of Egypt managed one draw and zero surprise wins.

After this away game National return home for a Premier League game against Ismaily. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last two matches): Ahly zero wins, two draws and National Bank of Egypt zero victories. As for goals, zero matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less.
