Match preview

Farko has only managed to earn three points from their first six matches. They have drawn against Al-Ittihad and ENPPI, both without goals, and had a 1-1 draw against Arab Contractors last time out. They have also lost three matches, scoring just one goal and conceding six, placing them at the bottom of the table in 21st position.

Under Ahmed Khattab, the team typically adopts a defensive approach, allowing opponents to control the game and relying on quick counterattacks that often lack effectiveness. This has contributed to their struggles, scoring only two goals in six matches.

Al-Masry is currently on the hunt for the top positions in the league, with 14 points from their first seven matches. They sit second in the standings and are seen as the clear favorites for this match. Nabil Kouki’s team has suffered one loss, a 0-3 defeat to Zamalek, but enjoys four wins and two draws overall.

Al-Masry prefers to dictate the pace of the game, maintaining long spells of possession while consistently applying pressure to break down defenses. They have been the most efficient team in the league, scoring 15 goals so far.

Probable lineups

Farko: Shika, Kamel, Hussein, El Mezzain, Ahmed, Fakhri, Shaaban, Fouad, Ezz, El Mallah, El Tayeb
Al-Masry: Sarwat, Eid, El Mohamady, Sobhi, El Saadawi, Makhlouf, Hamada, Temin, Ali, Dagmoum, Mohsen
