With the anxious opening game out of the way it’s time for the second Premier League meeting of the season. El Geish are ready to confront ENPPI in front of their home following.
This is a local fight, usually meaning extra pressure and significance.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

An away draw last time out for El Geish, facing El Daklyeh in a game that ended 0-0.
In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Ismaily.This is expected to be a close game, with El Geish perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with El Geish as a small favourite), we find 23 games. Geish has won 9 of these, drawn 10 and lost 4.

ENPPI played 1-1 against Pyramids FC in their previous match.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the ENPPI manager Vieira as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Al Masry.
