Ismaily and Al Itiihad will face off in the MatchDay 2 of the Egyptian Premier League.
Al Itiihad is expected to score against this Ismaily team, but it may not be sufficient to prevent a defeat.
Ismaily is keen to avoid a repeat of their recent Premier League defeat, where they lost 1-0 to FC Masr.
In five of their last six matches, Ismaily has seen fewer than three goals per game. During this period, their opponents scored a total of 5 goals, while Ismaily managed to score 6. It remains to be seen whether this trend will continue in the upcoming match.
The Ismaily manager, Miodrag Ješić, has the majority of his players available for selection, with just one fitness concern to address, as El Gamal will be unavailable for the game.
Last 5 Games: Won: 2, Draw: 1, Lost: 2, Scored: 6, Conceded: 4, Clean Sheets: 1.
Al Ittihad enters this match with confidence following their recent 1-0 victory over Ceramica Cleopatra in the Premier League.
In their last six encounters, Al Ittihad has struggled to find the back of the net, scoring only 4 goals. During this period, their opponents have scored a total of 8 goals against them.
Talaat Youssef, the manager of Al Ittihad, is fortunate to have a fully healthy squad at his disposal, with no fitness concerns to worry about as they prepare for this game.
Last 5 Games: Won: 1, Draw: 2, Lost: 2, Scored: 4, Conceded: 6, Clean Sheets: 2.
The match will be played at the Ismaïlia Stadium.
