Struggling Masr will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Al Ittihad in the upcoming league round. It’s 17th vs 5th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
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 Masr and Al Ittihad.
Masr form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Premier League this season. Masr have only managed 2 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Cairo Military Academy Stadium. Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at Cairo Military Academy Stadium, but a victory now would be sweet for Masr.
The fans are hoping that Masr will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-4 away loss in the Premier League game against Ismaily (placed 10th). Preceding that game was the home draw versus Haras El Hodood that ended 1-1.
Masr were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
Masr have scored 8 league goals here from 12 matches, not a lot. Masr have only conceded 11 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Al Ittihad form and stats
Playing away, Al Ittihad have won 5 games, drawn 5 and suffered 2 defeats in the Premier League this season. Al Ittihad are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played seven in a row without losing.
Ittihad failed to get anything from their last game, a Premier League home match vs Misr Lel Makasa (placed 8th) that ended with defeat 1-3. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Tanta that ended 1-1.
After this away game Ittihad return home for a Premier League game against Al Ahly. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Ittihad are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 13 away goals from 12 games (in the league). They concede less than a goal on average per away game (10 so far).
