Zamalek SC vs El Gouna Prediction: This encounter won’t deprive us of goals

On Friday, the White Knights will square off against El Gouna at the Cairo International Stadium. The hosts head here with their first defeat in eight games, and they’ll be keen to amass all the points when they host a stubborn El Gouna side. 

Zamalek (6th)

Last five games: WDWDL

The White Knights dropped to sixth place on the log following their poor display against Al Mokawloon on the road. Zamalek were tactically beaten by the hosts as they managed just a shot at goal. For the second consecutive game, Zamalek looked porous up front. They have now lost once over their previous nine games. They ran out of ideas as they continued to play without their best creator, Ahmed Zizo. 

Zamalek have won eight, drawn four, and lost twice in their last fourteen games at home. 

El Gouna (13th)

Last five games: LLLDD

Following their (1-1) stalemate against Ismaily, Alaa Abdelaal's men are guaranteed a spot in next season’s premier league. They are still on a run of twelve games without victory, but their early start to the season helped them achieve the feat. 

The hosts have been inconsistent lately, as they dropped to the thirteenth spot on the log. El Gouna picked up thirty-two points from a possible ninety-three, and they are now six points above the relegation. El Gouna have won three, lost six, and drawn six times away from home this season.

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous fourteen meetings, Zamalek have won eight, while El Gouna have recorded two wins and four games ending in a stalemate. The guests have achieved their aim of remaining in the league this season after settling for a share of the spoils against Ismaily away from home. El Gouna will play this game without pressure, the same as the hosts, who have secured their spot in the CAF Confederation Cup.

This game has produced thirteen goals over their previous three meetings, and we believe this particular one won’t be different.

Zamalek will avoid back-to-back defeats here as we expect them to secure the maximum points. 

Both teams are expected to get a goal apiece for 1.87.

Good luck!
