This game stars two squads dwelling in the basement of the Second League: Group C, El Mansura at 11th position and El Zarqa sitting at 14th. A good chance for one of the teams to upgrade their position.
- El Mansura have won significantly more corners at home than away.
- El Zarqa have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.
Mansura can neither be promoted or relegated from Second League: Group C. For El Zarqa it's their last days at this level as relegation is a fact.
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.
