Al Masry and Ismaily have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Premier League.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
This is a match between teams from the same area, a local derby. The community is buzzing.
Relegation threatens Masry who should definitely be looking for some points here. Ismaily are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.
