The Premier League overall standings tell a story about these teams up until now, with Al Ittihad ahead of Ismaily by 14 points. Here's our preview:
- Al Ittihad have the fewest scored goals in the first half (2) in Premier League
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Al Ittihad form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Borg El Arab Stadium as Al Ittihad have scored 9 goals to get 16 points from 8 games. The overall stats in the Premier League are 5-1-2 (wins-draws-losses).
Nothing to worry about in defence for Al Ittihad, as their goalkeeper Al Mahdi Soliman has completely shut out the opponents for 225 minutes in the Premier League.
Al Ittihad shared the glory with Al Mokawloon in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0.
Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Haras El Hodood.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Ittihad have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 10 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 2 and lost 3.
It should be considered that a peek at the 13 latest league matches reveals that 10 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the teams scored).
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Aswan are coming to town in four days.
The Al Ittihad fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 8 matches. Al Ittihad have only conceded 5 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
