Ismaily form and stats
Two League Cup home games so far for Ismaily, who are yet to win here at Ismaïlia Stadium. Only 2 points so far. With nine home League Cup games in a row without a win, the Ismaily fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Ghazl El Mehalla game long ago, can be stopped today.
Ismaily shared the glory with Al Mokawloon in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0.
