Trying to decrease the distance up to the top teams is on the list when these mid-table teams fight it out. Both will be trying to improve their league table position, Ceramica Cleopatra in 10th and Smouha in 12th spot.

Insights:
  • Ceramica Cleopatra have won significantly less corners at home than away.
  • Smouha have the fewest scored goals (6) in Premier League

Smouha could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Egypt Cup game only three sleeps ago. That game, against Al Ahly, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Smouha.
