The Darawish bounced back from their recent home defeat against Al Ahly with back-to-back wins over El Dakhleya and Pharco. Ismaily left it late against El Dakhleya, scoring in the 98th minute to secure the maximum points. The victory relieved coach Ehab Galal, whose job was on the line. Ismaily recorded their second victory in six games and are now nine points above the relegation zone. Ismaily used to be at the top of the Egyptian League, but they have been below par in recent seasons. Ismaily has conceded twenty-four times this season and scored twenty-two goals. Ismaily sit in the 12th spot on the log, picking up twenty-five points from a combined sixty-six points. 

Ismaily have won once, drawn four and lost five times away from home this season. 

Over their previous twenty meetings, Ismaily have won six while El Gaish have recorded five victories and nine games ending in a tie. The hosts have actually struggled lately, heading here without a victory over their last three games, although they have played against top teams. El Gaish are a top team and can’t afford to lose three consecutive matches. At the same time, Ismaily head here with back-to-back victories in the league for the first time this season. They were lucky to have won their last game after scoring with the last kick of the game. The hosts can’t afford to lose again on their ground after their recent woes. It’s a tough game but we’ll bank on the hosts; bet on home win either half for 1.86.

We expect both teams to get a goal apiece for 2.14.

This game might end in a halftime share of the spoils for 1.89.

Good luck!
