Al Ittihad vs El Gaish Prediction: I think this game will produce more than two goals

Following their stalemate against Al Ahly in the third game of the season, Al Ittihad will strive to keep the ball rolling when they host El Gaish at the Alexandra Stadium on Saturday. The hosts have not lost a home game against their opponent since 2015, can the guests break the jinx here?

Nikodimos men have been in decent form this campaign, marching here with a share of the spoils against Al Ahly on the road. In a game where they were the underdog, Al Ittihad defended well and luck shined on them as they settled for a (1-1) stalemate against the champions on the road. 

Al Ittihad produced one of the best second-half performances of the season, even though they managed just a shot at goal in the entire match. They have picked up seven points from a combined fifteen, scoring three and conceding once. 

Al Ittihad have managed one win over their previous nine games at home. 

Abdelhamid Bassiouni's men held their ground against Smouha as they split points on their home turf. El Gaish, who fired just three shots at goal in the game against Smouha, denied the guests' goal-scoring chances. They played more offensively before their game against Smouha, scoring three times while conceding two times. 

The guests have been poor this season, and only victory against their opponent can lift their morale. El Gaish have recorded three consecutive victories on the road in the league, and they’ll be poised to amass all the points here. 

Over the previous twenty meetings, Al Ittihad have won eight and drawn nine, while El Gaish have managed three wins. The hosts have shown class lately, but we can't tell if they’ll be able to maintain such momentum for a long time. They always start well every season and shut down during the campaign. 

Except for their most recent meeting which produced a toothless tie, this meeting has ended in more than a goal over their last fifteen games. Al Ittihad are our favourite here, and we are backing them to win comfortably here.

I also think this game will produce more than two goals for 2.39.

El Gaish might get a goal here; bet on BTTS for 2.05.

Good luck!
