On the 19th of October, Al Ahly and Ismaily will play a match in Ismailia in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Premier League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 23 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. In their last match, 13th placed Ismaily, recorded a 0-1 loss against El Geish. Abdel Rahman Osama scored the first goal for El Geish in the 34th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Ismaily was frustrated by El Geish’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. El Geish ended the match with the shutout victory. Ismaily is looking for direction having earned 12 points in their last 10 matches, while al Ahly sits at 1st place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 4-0 shutout win against Ceramica Cleopatra. Mohamed struck first for Al Ahly in the 35th minute on a feed from Ahmed Mohamed Abdel Kader Radwan, then Rami Hisham Abdel Aziz Rabia added another in the 68th minute from the penalty spot At the end of 90 a dissapointed Ceramica Cleopatra couldn’t manage to score, and Al Ahly took the shutout win. With 19 points in their last 10 matches Al Ahly should be reasonably happy with their performance.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Al Ahly won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Al Ahly is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Mahmoud and Karim Fouad each only have 1 goal in their last 5. Khalied Alnabrisi and El Shamy are the top scorers for Ismaily in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
