Ismaily hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 17 points and a 15th position in the Premier League table. Visiting El Gounah holds 9th place with 25 pts.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Premier League match only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at El Entag El Harby.
Ismaily form and stats
With 1 Premier League win, 4 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Ismaily are certainly not brimming with confidence.
Ismaily enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at El Entag El Harby's place. The match ended 2-0 with Ary Papel and Shokry Naguib scoring. Ahead of that match, Ismaily won a home game hosting Al Masry (2-1).
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Ismaily here at Ismaïlia Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (8 from 9 games). 13 goals have been conceded.
El Gounah form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for El Gounah so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 1-5-3 (win-draw-lose).
Gounah has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Al Ahly for a Premier League game that ended a draw (1-1). It was a Egypt Cup defeat before that one as the away game against Aswan wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
The attacking power of Gounah when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 9 league matches away. It's not easy to score on El Gounah as they have only conceded 8 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; El Gounah - Ismaily 2-1. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Ismaily won five games, three matches ended with a draw and El Gounah has two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / fourIsmaily missing players
