Competition: Egypt Premier League
Competition: Sun 18.October
Match begins: 15:30 (UTC)
Venue: Borg El Arab Stadium (20000 seats)

Season ticket holders at Borg El Arab Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Tanta languishing in the 18th position so far. The guesting Al Masry will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

For Tanta relegation is already certain this season. Only divine intervention and/or time travel can save them and neither look likely. Masry is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
