It's early days in the Premier League and the teams are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Premier League game only four days ago.
Al Mokawloon form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Al Mokawloon's two home games in the Premier League so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Arab Contractors Stadium.
The Al Mokawloon supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Aswan in Premier League and win 2-1. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Zamalek (1-2).
The match schedule is unforgiving for Al Mokawloon as they have a new game in only one day, a Premier League match thankfully also at home. Wadi Degla are visiting.
Al Mokawloon has scored 4 goals so far and conceded 3 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
El Gounah form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Premier League for El Gounah with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.
Hosny Fathi was the last player to score for the away team. El Gounah haven't scored a league goal in the last 229 minutes.
El Gounah failed to get anything from their last game, a Premier League home match vs Al Ahly (placed 1st) that ended with defeat 0-4. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Masr that ended 0-0.
El Gounah lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the El Gounah manager N. Milošević as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Pyramids FC.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, El Gounah has managed 0 goals and let in 1 from 2 matches.
Head 2 Head
Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Al Mokawloon won 4 games, 2 matches ended with a draw and El Gounah has 4 wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: 7 / 3Top Goalscorers
