One set of numbers in this game stands out more than the rest: Smouha have conceded 29% of their total goals against in the last 30 matches during the 76-90 minute period, while Asyut Petrol have scored 30% of their total goals in the same period. This means the closing stages are when the home side are most vulnerable, and the away side have just the weapon to punish them. This game is unlikely to be an open exchange, and the handicap with Smouha as favorites suggests the home side are expected to dominate possession. But with both teams' opening form—just a draw and a loss in their first matches (Asyut Petrol drew 1-1 with Petrojet, Smouha lost 0-1 to Al Masry on Aug 22)—the game is not easy to call. The most exciting minutes are likely to be the final 15, when Smouha open up to chase a winner, and that's when Asyut Petrol will get space to counter.
