Season ticket holders at New Suez Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Al Masry languishing in the 14th position so far. The guesting El Entag El Harby will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

It's no vacation for neither Masry nor El Entag El Harby 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.

This pitch has grass, which is not El Entag El Harby's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass El Entag El Harby have performed like this: Played 38 matches resulting in 13 wins, 10 draws and 15 defeats with the goal stats 36-43 (scored/conceded).

Al Masry form and stats

With 2 Premier League wins, 6 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Al Masry are certainly not brimming with confidence. With seven home Premier League games in a row without a win, the Masry fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Smouha game long ago, can be stopped today.

Stress levels are on the rise for Masry's attacking players as they have now played 180 minutes without scoring in a league game. A. Amutu was their last goal scorer.

No payout for Masry in their previous match, an away game at Smouha that ended in defeat 0-2. Before that, Masry drew at home versus El Geish.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Masry as they are travelling to their away game against Aswan in the Premier League. That match is four days after this one.

Al Masry have scored 12 league goals here from 13 matches, not a lot. 16 goals have been conceded.

El Entag El Harby form and stats

The visitors are W4-D4-L5 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League.

Abdel Rahman Osama and Ghanam Mohamed scored in El Entag El Harby's previous match, the home game against El Gounah that ended 2-1. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Zamalek wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

A quick return to home after this game, as Entag are hosting Wadi Degla in the Premier League only four days away.

The attacking power of Entag when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 13 league matches away. 16 goals have been conceded by Entag in these games.
