The fifth round of the Egyptian Premier League saw a clear dominance of visiting teams over the home sides, as the home stadiums turned into arenas for the guests' victories. This comes at a time when the Premier League is paused due to the Egyptian national team's commitments to two matches against Angola and South Sudan in the qualifiers for the Africa Cup of Nations 2027.
In the ten matches played during the fifth round, seven home teams suffered defeats against their visitors, reflecting the strength of the visiting teams and highlighting that the home advantage was not enough to secure results in their favor.
The fifth round bore the slogan "the home did not play in favor of its owners," as the visiting teams managed to assert their control in most competitions, while only a few teams benefited from playing at home to achieve victory and collect three points.
This statistic reflects the balance and closeness present in the league's competitions this season, especially with the ongoing battle for the top and the increasing intensity of competition among clubs across various positions in the table.
