Pyramids FC form and stats

Pyramids FC are steadily winning Premier League games and points here at 30 June Air Defence Stadium. 12 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats is the summary from 16 games. Pyramids FC has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at 30 June Air Defence Stadium. We remember; it was Al Ahly.

Happy days for Pyramids in their previous game, a fixture away at Ceramica Cleopatra (placed 12th) that ended with a 2-0 victory.

Prior to that, an away loss at Coca-Cola.

It should be taken into account that a look at the 12 latest league fixtures reveals that 10 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the teams scored).

A decent goal production from Pyramids FC in their home games so far, with 28 goals from 16 league matches. As for guarding their own goal, Pyramids have only let in 7 goals at home.

El Gounah form and stats

There's been little loot from El Gounah's travels as they have only collected 14 points from 16 away games in the Premier League. El Gounah only have 3 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 5 draws. One point away has become something of a habit for El Gounah who have played out draws in their last three away games.

Gounah had fun at their own home (30 June Air Defence Stadium) last time out, beating Coca-Cola 2-1. Wael and Cobbinah scored. Hooray; their first win in the league after seven rounds not winning. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Youssef when Cobbinah scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 77th minute.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Smouha that ended 2-2.

The attacking power of El Gounah when travelling is not overwhelming with 15 goals scored from 16 league matches away. 21 goals have been conceded by El Gounah in these games.

Head 2 Head

The teams involved encountered each other previously this campaign: El Gounah - Pyramids 1-2. Last nine meetings involving these sides: Pyramids FC won two, El Gounah triumphed in three and we saw four draws. five games with more than 2,5 goals, four matches with two goals or less.
