El Gaish vs ENPPI Prediction: A low-scoring encounter ahead

The Gehaz El Reyada Stadium will be the venue for this game in week 19 of the Egyptian Premier League action between El Gaish and ENPPI. The two teams boast of an unbeaten run into this game. Let’s look into this game and give a prediction. 

El Gaish extended their unbeaten run to 12 games the previous weekend with a win over the National Bank of Egypt. In a game that ended 0-1, Youssry Wahid’s 74th-minute strike was all El Gaish needed to secure all three points. The Red and Black, however, have just one win in their last five games, as prior encounters to their last game had ended in consecutive draws, coming against Al Ittihad, Pharco, El Daklyeh, and Pyramids. This season, El Gaish have accumulated 24 points from 16 league games, positioning them 9th in the standings. In those matches, Red and Black scored 15 goals while conceding 12 in the same span.

Talaat Youssef's men continued their prospect of winning the league as they presently sit third spot in the Egyptian Premier League. Last time out, ENPPI held El Daklyeh to a goalless draw, being their third draw in consecutive games. However, ENPPI remain without a win in their last four games, as they suffered a defeat to Al Ittihad in one other encounter. Heading into this game, ENPPI scored four goals in their last four matches while conceding five. Ahead of this game, ENPPI are adrift first placed Pyramids by just three points, even though the leaders have three games in hand.

The games involving these two sides have ended with few goals, and I do not expect any sudden offensive improvement from either of them here. Also, the majority of these two teams' matches this season have ended in draws, and while it does look like there is little or no difference in the level of play of both teams, a draw should satisfy them here.
