Ghazl El Mehalla form and stats

One match played away so far in the Premier League for Ghazl El Mehalla and it was a tie. Last season the statistics for their away games were 0 wins, 5 draws and 12 losses from 17 games. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Ghazl El Mehalla have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 33 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Misr Lel Makasa game. Mehalla are desperate to end a 45-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the El Entag El Harby fixture.

Mehalla has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Smouha for a Premier League game that ended a draw (1-1).

As mentioned above, Ghazl El Mehalla drew the match against Smouha. Manager Khaled Eid brought on Islam Fouad to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.

The schedule is very tough for Ghazl El Mehalla now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Premier League game at ENPPI is waiting in only four days.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Ghazl El Mehalla has managed 1 goal and let in 1 from 1 match.
