Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Wadi Degla & Al Ittihad face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Egypt Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Wadi Degla form and stats
Degla was eliminated in the 8th finals last season in the Egypt Cup.Wadi Degla's results here at El Mahalla Stadium in the Premier League have been very modest with 2 victories, 4 draws and 4 defeats.
Degla's previous game was a Premier League match also played at home, ending 4-2 versus National Bank of Egypt. The home side are looking to build on that result. In the match before that, Degla hosted El Entag El Harby and drew the Premier League game 0-0.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? What a game it was for Mohamed Helal when beating National Bank of Egypt, applying the finishing touch to three goals!
Degla aren't scoring a lot here at El Mahalla Stadium in the league, with only 9 goals from 10 games. Wadi Degla have conceded 11 in these home matches.
Al Ittihad form and stats
Last season their Egypt Cup adventure ended in the semi-finals.4 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of Al Ittihad playing as the away team in the Premier League this season.
The supporters enjoyed Ittihad's previous game versus Al Mokawloon, a Premier League 4-2 win played at home. Prior to that result Ittihad won their away game at National Bank of Egypt in the Premier League. The scoreline was 1-0.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Al Mokawloon was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
Al Ittihad find the net regularly in their away games. 10 goals from 8 away fixtures in the league. As opposed to that, Al Ittihad have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.
