Petrojet vs El Gouna Prediction: Tough game to pick a winner

In round six, Cairo Military Academy Stadium will host the Egyptian Premier League game between Petrojet and El Gouna. The previous time out, the two sides secured a win against their opponents. How will they approach this fixture? Below, I will look into the preview of this game and make predictions.

Petrojet took on El Gaish away from home the previous time out and won. Petrojet had poor control in that game, with 41 per cent of the possession. In the meantime, they attempted 14 shots, with three on target. Meanwhile, Badr Moussa's 32nd-minute strike was enough to see this team secure maximum points. Petrojet have won their last two matches, the first against Modern Sport in the League Cup. However, other encounters saw this team lose to El Ismaily and Pharco while drawing Modern Sport. 

In their last home matches, Petrojet have three wins, two draws and one defeat. This season, Petrojet have five points accumulated from five matches, averaging a point per game. 

El Gouna's last league game was against ENPPI, and they won. In that encounter, El Gouna had 50 per cent of the possession, 12 shots attempted, and four on target. However, in the 85th minute, Ali El Zahdi's strike made the difference at full time. Meanwhile, this team has not lost their last three matches, while their lone defeat in the last six was against Ghazl El Mahallah. This team settled for goalless draws with ZED, Al Masry, and Smouha in that run. Yet, they also picked up a win over Smouha in the League Cup.

This season, El Gouna have six points from five matches in the league. This team conceded only one goal in that run while scoring one themselves.

I will lean on goals in this one as I believe the two teams will have their chances. Looking at how their past meetings have ended and how these sides have responded this season to their games, I feel this game could end without a winner, especially with El Gouna being very solid as a defensive side. Yet, I am confident this game will not end goalless as the two sides have shown competitiveness in the past. Take a chance on both teams scoring, while the final score ends 1-1.
