Struggling Al Masry will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Zamalek in the upcoming league round. It’s 13th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Masry and Zamalek.
For Zamalek most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.
Al Masry form and stats
With 2 Premier League wins, 7 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Al Masry, who have the fewest clean sheets (2) at home in Premier League, are certainly not brimming with confidence. With eight 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.
A strong away win for Masry against Aswan the last match, as Omar Kamal were on target. Before that, Al Masry drew at home versus El Entag El Harby.
Al Masry are traveling soon after this match as the Premier League match at El Gounah awaits in four days.
The Masry fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 14 matches. On the other hand, Masry have conceded 18 goals.
Zamalek form and stats
5-5-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Zamalek in their Premier League matches away.
Zizo, Youssef Obama and Mahmoud Alaa (2) scored in Zamalek's previous match, the home game against El Gounah that ended 4-3. That result followed a home victory 3-1 versus Tanta.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Zamalek, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun? The end of the last match, against El Gounah, was very satisfying as Mahmoud Alaa scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
After this away game Zamalek return home for a Egypt Cup game against Smouha. That game is only four sleeps after this.
The visiting Zamalek have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 19 goals from 15 games. As opposed to that, Zamalek have seen the ball go into their own net 18 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
The teams have played each other before this season, with the result Zamalek - Masry 1-0 entered in the official records.
