Expert Betting Tips
Over their previous fourteen games, Ismaily have won eight while El Gouna have recorded three wins and three games ending in a tie. Ismaily have been decent lately, with a win and a draw against tough opponents. They march here with a stalemate against a solid Zamalek side on their ground, which might be the motivation they require to surge forward in their attempt to survive relegation. At the same time, El Gouna enjoyed themselves against Ceremica as the hosts waited until the last few seconds to split points. Unfortunately, they’ve struggled on their ground this season as they face off against a resurgent Ismaily side. We think both teams stand a chance of winning here, but a goal apiece would surface here for 1.84.
Ismaily have had the better of the hosts in their previous meetings, and we think they might just pull a stunt against them; bet on an away win or draw and over 1.5 goals for 1.87.
We expect to see a halftime draw here for 1.98.
Good luck!
