Wadi Degla form and stats

1 victory, 1 draw and 3 defeats. That’s what Wadi Degla have to build on here in the Premier League.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 266 minutes without scoring a league goal. I. Yakubu was the last player to find the net.

The spoils were shared in Degla's previous game, also at home. Visiting Aswan (placed 14th) travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at El Gounah.

This is expected to be a close game, with Wadi Degla perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Degla as a small favourite), we find 15 games. Wadi Degla has won four of these, drawn six and lost five.

The Degla fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 5 in 5 matches. Degla have conceded 8 from these games.

Ghazl El Mehalla form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the fewest points (2) away in Premier League, on their Premier League travels is 0 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 36 away games in a row.

Mehalla won their last game, 2-1 versus Zamalek played at home. A draw for Mehalla before that, at their own venue hosting Ismaily (2-2).

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager K. Eid when Khaled El Akhmimi scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 73rd minute. Late drama in the previous game, when Khaled El Akhmimi scored the winning goal five minutes into stoppage time to defeat Zamalek.

A quick return to home after this game, as Ghazl El Mehalla are hosting Ceramica Cleopatra in the Premier League only four days away.

Goals are few and far between in Mehalla's away league games. Only 2 goals from 4 travels. Ghazl El Mehalla struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 6 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last five meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Degla, two draws and one win for Ghazl El Mehalla. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: three games.
