It hasn't been easy for Al Merreikh so far, and that also applies to Belbeis. These brave battlers pray for some much needed points here.
- Al Merreikh have the fewest scored goals in the second half (0) in Second League: Group B
- Belbeis have the most matches over the total-line (6) in Second League: Group B
This looks to be an exciting game with lots of action and bustle as both sides are well rested since they last ran out on the pitch. Let's start!
Al Merreikh form and stats
Al Merreikh's results here at Al Merreikh Stadium in the Second League: Group B have been very modest with 0 victories, 5 draws and 2 defeats. With eight home Second League: Group B games in a row without a win, the Al Merreikh fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the El Daklyeh game long ago, can be stopped today.
Merreikh drew their last game, also a home match. Itesalat (placed 12th) was the opponent, 0-0 the score.
A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Tersana.The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Al Merreikh here at Al Merreikh Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (6 from 7 games). Al Merreikh have conceded 8 in these home matches.
Belbeis form and stats
There's been little loot from Belbeis's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 7 away games in the Second League: Group B. Belbeis only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 0 draws. A depressing six defeats in a row for Belbeis in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus El Entag El Harby.
Belbeis lost away at El Daklyeh (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.
A draw for Belbeis before that, at their own venue hosting Petrojet (0-0).There's been a serious shortage of goals from Belbeis's away games in the league this season with only 5 goals from 7 matches. The attacking power of Belbeis when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 7 league matches away. Belbeis's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 11 goals from these trips.
