El Gounah form and stats

El Gounah's results here at Khaled Bichara Stadium in the Premier League have been very modest with 3 victories, 2 draws and 6 defeats. When El Gounah hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Coca-Cola, Smouha, Pyramids FC, Zamalek and El Geish), they have won 1 of 2 matches!

The followers are hoping that El Gounah will fight back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-2 away defeat in the Egypt Cup fixture against Al Mokawloon.

Preceding that match was the home Premier League game against El Sharqia Dokhan that was lost 2-3.

Gounah have scored 10 league goals here from 11 matches, not a lot. El Gounah have conceded 15 in these home matches.
