Ghazl El Mahalla vs El Gaish Prediction: Home team will not disappoint

El Mahalla Stadium will host the Egyptian Premier League game between Ghazl El Mahalla and El Gaish. In their opening game, none of these teams could secure a win. How will they approach this encounter?

Ghazl El Mahalla's last league encounter was against El Ismaily, and they settled for a goalless draw. In that game, Ghazl El Mahalla had 41 percent of the possession and had nine shots attempted. While failing to convert two of their shots that were on target, Ghazl El Mahalla will hope to do well offensively in this game. However, this team has had an unbeaten run of games since late 2023 and will look to extend that record. 

El Gaish's opening game of the 2024/2025 season started with a defeat, and they will look to respond well here. In that game, Islam Mohareb received a red card in the 21st minute, allowing their opponent to exploit them in the second half. However, this team had 38 per cent of the possession and attempted three shots while only one was on target. Heading into this game, El Gaish have lost three of their last five matches overall and will look to turn the tables. 

I will lean on the home team in this game as I expect them to take their chances this time. In the meantime, El Gaish looked very shaky in their opener and will need a lot of improvement to secure a win in this game. With their record together very close, expect a game where both teams could score while the home team takes maximum points.
