El Gounah form and stats

With 2 Premier League wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their home games, El Gounah are certainly not brimming with confidence.

A good away victory last time out for El Gounah, who won 2-1 against Al Masry (placed 11th). Prior to that, an away loss at Tanta.

Some amazing scenes last match, when Akram Tawfik scored the winning goal five minutes into stoppage time.

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 El Gounah have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found one game) they have won zero times, drawn one and lost zero.

El Gounah have scored 4 league goals here from 7 matches, not a lot. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 11 goals have been conceded.
