Ismaily will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 4 points behind Al Ittihad.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Ismaily and Al Ittihad.
Ismaily form and stats
When playing at home in the Premier League, Ismaily have managed 3 wins, 4 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 11 games. Two draws in a row at home now for Ismaily.
Ismaily are returning here after visiting Tanta in a Premier League game and winning with a 3-1 scoreline. Omar El Wahsh and Abdel Rahman Magdi (2) scored the goal(s). A 2-2 draw away before that, with Haras El Hodood the opponent.
The manager A. El Selehdar will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Misr Lel Makasa in only four days.
The Ismaily fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 11 matches. On the other hand, Ismaily have conceded 13 goals.
Al Ittihad form and stats
4 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Al Ittihad playing as the away team in the Premier League this season. Sharing is caring, but Ittihad are perhaps overdoing it with their four draws in a row. One point away has become something of a habit for Ittihad who have played out draws in their last three away games.
Ittihad played 1-1 against Haras El Hodood in their previous match. Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to Wadi Degla.
The draw against Haras El Hodood came from a losing position. The Al Ittihad manager T. Youssef brought on Ahmed Rashed as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Premier League trip to Tanta.
The attacking power of Al Ittihad when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 10 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Ittihad as they have only conceded 8 goals from these away games.
