One of the matches of the 12th round of the Egyptian Premier League will take place on Friday in Cairo, where Tala'ea El Gaish will host El Gouna. Here's a betting suggestion for this match with good chances of success.
Match Preview
Tala'ea El Gaish currently sits in 10th place in the Premier League standings after 11 rounds. The team trails the top nine, including clubs like National Bank of Egypt and Pharco, only on goal difference. However, Tala'ea El Gaish has shown improved results in recent matches and has potential for climbing further up the table.
In their most recent outing, Tala'ea El Gaish secured a 2-1 away victory against Ismaily. The team is now unbeaten in three consecutive matches, with two wins in that stretch. Despite this, Tala'ea El Gaish has yet to win a home game this season, losing three of their six home fixtures.
On the other hand, El Gouna has been struggling significantly in the current Egyptian Premier League campaign. After 11 matches, they sit at the bottom of the standings with just six points. They are nine points behind the top nine teams in the league.
Last weekend, El Gouna hosted Haras El-Hodood and lost 0-1. However, they managed to break their four-match losing streak across all competitions with a 3-1 home victory against Tim in the Egyptian Cup.
