Competition: Egypt Premier League
Competition: Wed 20.January
Match begins: 12:30 (UTC)
Venue: Borg El Arab Stadium (20000 seats)

The visiting Al Masry side should be favourites in this visit to Wadi Degla, as the away team holds a 4 point advantage from their seven league games this season.

Insights:
  • All of Wadi Degla's home-matches have had more than 2,5 goals.
  • Al Masry have not yet lost a game away.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

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 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Degla, their manager N. Papavasiliou and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

The fans are hoping that Wadi Degla will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Premier League game against El Geish (placed 18th). Preceding that game was the away draw at Pyramids FC that finished 1-1.

There will be little rest for Degla after this match as they are travelling to El Gounah for a Premier League game in only four days.

The Wadi Degla fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Wadi Degla defense is not exactly impregnable. 5 goals conceded from 3 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Al Masry form and stats

Al Masry are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Premier League, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (0 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses). One point away has become something of a habit for Masry who have played out draws in their last three away games.

Al Masry might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Zamalek proved too strong as Masry slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Ismaïlia Stadium. A 1-1 draw at Al Ittihad's stadium before that.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Ceramica Cleopatra in just four days.

Masry are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 3 away goals from 3 games (in the league). 3 goals have been conceded by Al Masry in these games.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Degla won zero games, four matches ended with a draw and Al Masry has six wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: two / eight
