Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Ismaily in 10th and Aswan in 11th place.
Ismaily and Aswan should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
These teams have little in common geographically as Aswan have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Ismaily are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. For Aswan most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.

When playing at home in the Premier League, Ismaily have managed 4 wins, 6 draws and suffered 6 defeats from 16 games.

Aswan form and stats
Aswan have only collected 15 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 3-6-7 (16 played). Aswan seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Aswan had fun at their own home (Ismaïlia Stadium) last time out, beating Haras El Hodood 2-1. Ibrahim Galal (2) scored. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Wadi Degla wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Aswan as they have only managed to score 14 times from 16 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Aswan have seen the ball go into their own net 20 times on the road. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
Head 2 Head
These teams' last encounter with each other was the Aswan - Ismaily 2-1 earlier this season. As for the last six games between these two teams, there's three Ismaily victories, two draws and one Aswan win.
