Al Ittihad form and stats

Al Ittihad have collected 24 points from their Premier League home games so far after 7-3-5.

Al Ittihad travelled for their previous game, a trip to Haras El Hodood that ended 2-2. The Al Ittihad goalkeeper Soliman was crucial in the match against Haras El Hodood last time out, making six saves. The attacker Mabululu was announced as "man of the match" for Ittihad with a rating of 8.62/10. Mabululu scored two goals and hit one key pass.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Ceramica Cleopatra that finished 0-0.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Al Mokawloon are coming to town in four days.

The Al Ittihad fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 15 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Al Ittihad have conceded only 12 goals.

Al Ahly form and stats

Rock solid. That's the only way to describe the travels of Al Ahly so far, with 11-2-0 (wins-draws-losses) so far. Those are Premier League statistics.

The Ahly goalkeeper Mohamed El Shenawy is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 947 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Al Ahly go into this game after a win, the home game against Ismaily that ended 1-0. Defender Maâloul was the best team player with a rating of 7.64. Maâloul hit three key passes and won 8 of 11 duels.

Before that, Ahly travelled to Future FC and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.

An interesting fact for sports bettors contemplating a bet on only one (or no) side scoring in this game: This club have played 7 consecutive league games with just one or no team finding the net.

With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Al Ahly are regular goalscorers on their travels. The Al Ahly defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average ({3 goals} in 13 games). There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

Al Ahly have won every one of the 6 most recent games versus this side. Can they do it again?

Al Ahly - Al Ittihad 3-0 was the product when this pair of sides previously played each other, earlier this season.
