Al Ahly have traveled here for an interesting fight against the hosts Wadi Degla. Prepare for the match with this Premier League preview!
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.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
Wadi Degla form and stats
Wadi Degla have played three Premier League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
Wadi Degla's previous game was a Egypt Cup match also played at home, ending 4-0 versus Biyala. The home side are looking to build on that result. Heartbreak before that as Wadi Degla lost 0-1 at Masr's place.
As mentioned above, Wadi Degla "killed" Biyala in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Wadi Degla here in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (2 from 3 games). 4 goals have been conceded.
Al Ahly form and stats
Al Ahly, who have the most scored goals (14) in Premier League, are on a winning streak away after three games, as mentioned below. A maximum 9 points in the bag from 3 travels in the Premier League.
Al Ahly are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the CAF Champions League against Al Hilal Omdurman. That result followed a home victory 3-1 versus Beni Suef in the Egypt Cup.
A quick return to home after this game, as Al Ahly are hosting Haras El Hodood in the Premier League only four days away.
The Al Ahly manager R. Weiler has seen his team go crazy on the road this season, having scored 10 goals in 3 league matches away. The Al Ahly defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (1 goal in 3 games).
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 1 win for Wadi Degla, 3 draws and 6 wins for Al Ahly. Over 2,5 goals: 3 times; under 2,5 goals: 7 games.Top Goalscorers
