On Feb 21st, Ismaily hosts Ghazl El Mehalla in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Premier League teams. Ismaily sits at 17th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-1 draw against Al Ittihad. El Shamy scored the first goal for Ismaily in the 1st minute, then Mahmoud Alaa got the equalizer for Al Ittihad in the 76th minute on a feed from Saleh earning Al Ittihad at least a draw. Ismaily looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches, while ghazl El Mehalla has not played yet this season.
In their last match together, Ghazl El Mehalla was victorious by a score of 2 to 1. Ahmed El Sheikh struck first for Ghazl El Mehalla in the 12th minute on a feed from Mohamed Abdelrazak Bazooka, then Ibitham added another in the 75th minute on a feed from Paulin Voavy.
Ghazl El Mehalla is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Ibitham and Ahmed El Sheikh each having 2 goals in their last 5. Mohamed El Shamy has been the most effective weapon for Ismaily lately. The attacker has netted 3 goals in his last five matches.
