Ghazl El Mehalla form and stats

Ghazl El Mehalla are still undefeated on their travels in the Premier League. They have only played two games though, winning one and drawing the other.

Home advantage was not enough for Mehalla in their previous game, as they lost their Premier League-match, hosting Al Ahly, 2-3. Late heartbreak for Mehalla in the Al Ahly match, as the deciding 2-3 goal came deep into overtime.

A 0-0 draw at El Geish's stadium before that.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Mehalla playing away, we found one game. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and one home win.

3 goals so far away for Ghazl El Mehalla, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 2 league matches away.
