An important duel in the bottom section of the Premier League, with both El Gounah and Tanta experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 15th and the visitors in 18th place.
The hosts El Gounah saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Premier League. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Zamalek.
Relegation threatens El Gounah who should definitely be looking for some points here. Tanta are nearing the end of this stay in this division as relegation is now unavoidable.
El Gounah form and stats
El Gounah have played 14 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-2-6 (wins-draws-losses).
Gounah faced defeat in their previous match, away at Zamalek (3-4). Ahead of that match, Gounah won a home game hosting Aswan (1-0).
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? The defeat against Zamalek was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored four minutes into stoppage time (by Mahmoud Alaa).
The match schedule is unforgiving for Gounah as they have a new game in only four days, a Premier League match thankfully also at home. Al Masry are visiting.
Gounah aren't scoring a lot here at El-Gouna Stadium in the league, with only 12 goals from 14 games. On the other hand, El Gounah have conceded 16 goals.
Tanta form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Tanta, who have the most conceded goals (48) in Premier League, so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 1-5-9 (win-draw-lose). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Tanta have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 14 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Wadi Degla game. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Tanta, who have now gone 16 games without a victory. The El Gounah game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.
Tanta failed to get anything from their last game, a Premier League home match vs Al Ahly (placed 1st) that ended with defeat 0-1. A 1-3 defeat away at Zamalek before that.
Tanta are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 7 goals from 15 away games. Tanta have conceded 30 goals in these games.
