Match preview
Petrojet Suez currently sits fourth in the relegation group, having collected 45 points from 12 matches in this stage. The team is looking solid: five wins, five draws, and just two losses with a goal difference of 17:13 point to a well-balanced side - an especially valuable trait as the season nears its close.
The hosts’ recent results confirm their strong form: Petrojet thrashed Haras El-Hodood 3-0, drew 1-1 with Future FC, edged NBE 3-2, shared the spoils with Wadi Degla 2-2, and beat Ittihad Alexandria 2-1. At home, they are tough to break down - Petrojet have avoided defeat in 10 of their last 12 home league matches and have now gone 22 consecutive home games without trailing at halftime.
El-Gouna are right behind their rivals, sitting fifth with 43 points and a goal difference of 8:8 in this phase. The team is less prolific in attack, but their defensive structure is reliable: they concede few goals on average, and their overall style leads to tight matches with few chances.
In the last round, El-Gouna beat Tala’ea El-Gaish 2-1, previously drew 1-1 with NBE, narrowly lost 0-1 to Kahraba Ismailia, went down 0-1 to Arab Contractors, and split the points with FC Masr in a 2-2 draw. Away wins are rare for El-Gouna - they’ve managed just one victory in their last seven away league matches, but draws have become a key tool in their fight for survival.

Match prediction
Don’t expect open football here: both teams are close in the standings, fully aware of the price of a mistake, and unlikely to throw caution to the wind. Petrojet have the edge at home and have finished the season strongly, but El-Gouna are organized enough to slow the tempo and keep things balanced. The head-to-head history also points to a cautious scenario: back in September, they played out a 1-1 draw, and most of El-Gouna’s recent away matches have been tightly contested affairs.
