Al Masry form and stats

5 victories, 5 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Al Masry, who have the most clean sheets (8) at home in Premier League, have to build on here at Borg El Arab Stadium in the Premier League.

A strong away win for Masry against Ceramica Cleopatra the last match, as Ahmed Refaat and Saidou Simpore were on target. Manager A. Maher felt very clever after Saidou Simpore scored the winning goal against Ceramica Cleopatra, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 78th minute. Some amazing scenes last match, when Saidou Simpore scored the winning goal four minutes into stoppage time.

A 2-2 draw away in the Egypt Cup before that, with Aswan (after extra-time, 5-4 on penalties) the opponent.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Al Masry's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played five games, won three matches, drawn one and lost one.

The Al Masry fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 13 matches. Masry are not conceding a lot of goals here at Borg El Arab Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 9 from 13 matches.
