Comparative Team Statistics: Petrojet vs Smouha SC

Head-to-Head

The head-to-head stretches back over a decade, with results swinging both ways over the years rather than one club holding a clear upper hand. The three most recent meetings were split too: a league draw, a League Cup win for Petrojet, and a league win for Smouha.

Given how far back some of these meetings go and the mix of competitions involved, the older results don't say much about either side's current level.

Where They Stand

In the current table Petrojet sit eighth with seven points from five games, having won two, drawn one and lost two. Smouha are down in sixteenth with four points from the same number of matches, having managed just one win.

It's an early sample of only five games each, so it's a snapshot rather than a settled picture, but it does back up what the longer form numbers suggest.

Petrojet have made the better start to this particular campaign.

Players to Watch

Petrojet's attack has been carried by Mostafa El Badry, who has three goals in five matches, with Ahmed Bahbah also chipping in with two. Both have been directly involved in assists too, showing they're central to how Petrojet create chances.

Smouha SC:

Penalty cards:

Amr El Sisi x 3

For Smouha, Amr El Sisi has picked up three yellow cards in five games, which is worth keeping an eye on given how disciplined a side needs to be against a team scoring goals from multiple sources.

How This One Could Go

Petrojet's scoring comes from a couple of reliable sources and their home form, while leaky at times, has still produced enough points to sit mid-table. Smouha's away form over the same period has been thin on goals and heavy on defeats.

That points towards Petrojet having the platform to control proceedings, but their own defensive record means nothing is likely to be watertight either way.
