There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Al Ahly leading El Gounah by 35 points.
It's no vacation for neither Ahly nor El Gounah as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Al Ahly form and stats
Al Ahly, who have the most scored goals (53) in Premier League, have been outstanding at home so far in the Premier League with 10 wins, 1 draw and only 0 losses. Two home wins in a row for Ahly bring valid hopes of a third.
The fans are hoping that Ahly will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the Premier League game against Zamalek (placed 2nd). Before that, Al Ahly had a home game versus Aswan which ended with a victory 3-0.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Ahly as they are travelling to their away game against Al Masry in the Premier League. That match is three days after this one.
Ahly are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at Cairo International Stadium in their league games, having scored an impressive 31 goals in 11 matches. Defensively Ahly have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (2 in 11 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
El Gounah form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for El Gounah so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 2-4-5 (win-draw-lose).
El Gounah aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 218 league minutes without a goal. Ahmed Yasser Rayan was the last player to find the net.
Gounah failed to get anything from their last game, a Premier League home match vs Masr (placed 18th) that ended with defeat 0-1. Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Misr Lel Makasa's place.
A new game in only four days for Gounah, the Premier League home match versus Al Mokawloon. Busy days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting El Gounah as they have only managed to score 10 times from 11 away games in the league. Gounah have conceded 14 goals in these away matches.
