In this week 11 match on the 28th of February, Al Ittihad will host El Geish at Alexandria Stadium in a meeting of these two Premier League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 16 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. 8th placed Al Ittihad is fresh off their 0-1 loss against ENPPI. Okoye Ebuka struck first for ENPPI in the 3rd minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Al Ittihad was frustrated by ENPPI’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. ENPPI ended the match with the shutout victory. Al Ittihad is looking for direction having earned 13 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 14th placed El Geish, recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Pharco. Beniangba scored the first goal for El Geish in the 82nd minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster At the end of 90 a dissapointed Pharco couldn’t manage to score, and El Geish took the shutout win. El Geish looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 5 of their last 10.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season Al Ittihad won the head to head battle with 1 win and 1 draw. Karim El Deeb has been the most prolific scorer on Al Ittihad in the last five matches with 3 goals.
