In this week 29 match on Aug 5th, El Gounah and Zamalek will play a match in El-Gouna in a clash of the Premier League. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 10 degrees, a perfect day for football. In their last match, 15th placed El Gounah, recorded a 1-1 draw against National Bank of Egypt. Islam Abdelnaim struck first for El Gounah in the 40th minute on a feed from Nour El Sayed, but Mohamed Helal got the equalizer for National Bank of Egypt in the 86th minute earning them at least the one point. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 5 of their last 10, while 1st placed Zamalek is fresh off their 3-0 shutout win against Pyramids FC. Ahmed Sayed scored the first goal for Zamalek in the 2nd minute on a penalty shot, then Seifeddine Jaziri added another in the 24th minute In the end, Pyramids FC was frustrated by Zamalek’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Zamalek ended the match with the shutout victory. Zamalek is on a hot streak lately, with 7 wins in their last 10 matches.
Zamalek and El Gounah last played eachother at the Cairo International Stadium on the 7th of March. Zamalek won by a score of 2 to 1. Emam Ashour struck first for Zamalek in the 17th minute on a feed from Achraf Bencharki, then Ahmed Sayed added another in the 18th minute on a feed from Emam Ashour.
Zamalek is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Achraf Bencharki and Seifeddine Jaziri each having 2 goals in their last 5. Amr El Saadawy and Abdel Aziz El Balouti are the top scorers for El Gounah in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
