Though at one point in the season it seemed their incredible 53-year top-flight tenure was coming to an end, Ismaily SC awakened when it mattered most by stringing together a series of strong results recently to pull themselves clear of relegation fears.

Only one loss - handed to them by the table-leaders Pyramids as they went down 0-2 in May 19 - and a decent haul of 12 points from their last seven top-tier games has seen them build up a healthy nine-point cushion over the bottom quartet.

The most recent outing saw Al-Darawish extend their imposing seven-game unbeaten run on the road (W2 D5) with a narrow 2-1 success over top-three hopefuls Future FC, but their return home makes for uncomfortable reading with just one win in their last seven home matches.

Their next challenge comes against Al Masry, who have long been fallen out of the race for the domestic title they've never had the chance to claim in their 104-year history, yet they remain well-positioned to book CAF's second-tier competition after a two-year drought.

Neck and neck on points with the 43-time champions Al Ahly right now, but with a hefty seven games more, the Green Eagles realize the title is slipping out of reach, with their third-place spot also starting to waver after a significant dip in form over the past weeks, taking a meager five points from their last six matches.

Looking on the bright side, Al Maher's squad will be confident of grinding out a positive result when they travel to Ismailia midweek, having proven themselves a tough nut to crack on their top-flight travels since the turn of the calendar year, succumbing only once in their last 10 away outings across all competitions (W4 D5).

Recent history reveals that their H2Hs have often been of an entertaining nature, particularly when held at Ismaily's den, as goals have been scored by both sides in five out of the last six encounters. Al-Darawish have shown vulnerability at the back by conceding 2+ goals in four of their past five home matches, while Al Masry have seen just three clean sheets from their 15 visits in any format. With both eyeing max points, we expect an open and action-packed contest with goals at both ends.
