El Geish form and stats

Overall Premier League results at home this season for El Geish are 4-7-3 (wins-draws-losses).

In their previous game, the manager A. Bassiouni led his El Geish to a defeat in the Premier League match away at Smouha. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Egyptian Army Stadium. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Ahmed Samir for missing a penalty kick versus Smouha in the 68th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

Before that, Geish drew at home versus Pyramids FC.

The manager A. Bassiouni will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to ENPPI in only three days.

The Geish fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 20 in 14 matches. Geish have conceded 15 in these home matches.
