Insights:
  • Ismaily have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • El Geish have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

It's no vacation for neither Ismaily nor El Geish as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Ismaily are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. El Geish is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

Ismaily form and stats

With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Ismaily to get some points in this home game.

The Ismaily crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-2 to Wadi Degla here at Ismaïlia Stadium in a Premier League match.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting ENPPI (1-2).

This is expected to be a close game, with Ismaily perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Ismaily as a small favourite), we find 15 games. Ismaily has won two of these, drawn five and lost eight.

There will be little rest for Ismaily after this match as they are travelling to Ceramica Cleopatra for a Premier League game in only three days.

Ismaily are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 20 goals in 16 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Ismaily defense is not exactly impregnable. 25 goals conceded from 16 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

El Geish form and stats

El Geish has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to ENPPI for a Premier League game that ended a draw (1-1).

A draw for Geish before that, at their own venue hosting Al Ahly (0-0).

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 18 similar matches played by Geish in our archives, and the results are: three wins for El Geish, six draws and nine defeats.

A new game in only three days for El Geish, the Premier League home match versus Al Masry. Busy days.

El Geish have scored 21 goals on their travels this season, from 17 away games in the league. 22 goals have been conceded by Geish in these games.
