Al Ittihad perform at a high level so far being 1st in the table. Tanta can look both up and down from their 9th position.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Egypt Cup. That game was also an away game, at Aswan. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Al Ittihad form and stats
Seven points from three Premier League home games is a great start for Al Ittihad, who are hoping to build on that form here at Alexandria Stadium.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Emad El Sayed not having conceded a league goal in 254 minutes.
Al Ittihad's previous game was a Egypt Cup match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Nasr. The home side are looking to build on that result. In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Haras El Hodood.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Al Ittihad as they are travelling to their away game against Misr Lel Makasa in the Premier League. That match is four days after this one.
A decent goal production from Al Ittihad in their home games so far, with 5 goals from 3 league matches. As for guarding their own goal, Al Ittihad have only let in 1 goal at home.
Tanta form and stats
Tanta are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Premier League, having played 3 games and collected 5 points (1 win, 2 draws and 0 losses). Tanta has showed their ability to avoid defeat with four draws in a row, but are also dodging victories. They last avoided the draw 69 days ago, in the Pyramids FC fixture. Two points from the last two away games for Tanta, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Aswan (placed 14th) in their previous outing. The Egypt Cup match ended in a draw 1-1. Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to Ismaily.
A new game in only four days for Tanta, the Premier League home match versus El Entag El Harby. Busy days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Tanta as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. The Tanta defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (1 goal in 3 games).
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last six meetings: 3 - 2 - 1 (Al Ittihad wins - draws - Tanta wins). As for goals, 2 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 4 had two or less.Top Goalscorers
