With their 4 point advantage in the league table, Al Masry fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against El Gounah.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the CAF Confederations Cup. This match was also played here at New Suez Stadium. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, El Gounah have had more rest.
Al Masry form and stats
Al Masry have collected 9 points from their Premier League home games so far after 2-3-2.
The Al Masry supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Nouadhibou in CAF Confederations Cup and win 1-0. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Aswan that ended 2-2.
This is expected to be a close game, with Al Masry perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Al Masry as a small favourite), we find six games. Al Masry has won 4 of these, drawn 0 and lost 2.
The Al Masry fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 7 matches. 7 goals have been conceded.
El Gounah form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for El Gounah so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-4 (win-draw-lose).
El Gounah are looking to quickly end their 192 minutes long goal drought in the Premier League.
Two away games in a row for El Gounah, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Tanta in the Premier League. A loss against Zamalek was the result prior to that, in a home game.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with El Gounah playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were 2 El Gounah wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting El Gounah as they have only managed to score 5 times from 7 away games in the league. 9 goals have been conceded by El Gounah in these games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last eight meetings between these two teams are: 3 wins for Al Masry, 2 draws and 3 wins for El Gounah. Over 2,5 goals: 1 time; under 2,5 goals: 7 games.Top Goalscorers
