El Gounah have struggled for points this season. Can the gang get something when Future FC visit Khaled Bichara Stadium?

Insights:
  • El Gounah have the most dropped points from leading position (19) in Premier League
  • Future FC have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Relegation threatens El Gounah who should definitely be looking for some points here. For Future most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.

It's no vacation for neither El Gounah nor Future FC as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

El Gounah form and stats

El Gounah's struggle is real here at Khaled Bichara Stadium with only 16 points collected from 16 Premier League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 4-4-8. When El Gounah hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Smouha, Al Ahly, Pyramids FC, Zamalek and El Geish), they have won 2 of 5 matches! With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for El Gounah.

The El Gounah coach Youssef and his crew return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Smouha (placed 6th).

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Ghazl El Mehalla.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Gounah have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 5 games) they have won 1 time, drawn 1 and lost 3.

El Gounah are traveling soon after this match as the Premier League match at Pyramids FC awaits in two days.

El Gounah have scored 13 league goals here from 16 matches, not a lot. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Gounah have conceded 23 goals.
