Al Masry take on the visitors El Gouna in the round 29 match of Egyptian Premier League. The match will be played on Monday, July 1st at Borg El Arab Stadium (Alexandria).
The team is currently in third place in the table and is fourth in terms of points lost. They have a good chance of competing for medals in the current championship. In their last four matches, the "Green Eagles" have won three times. In the national championship, they defeated strong teams like Ismaily (1-0) and Zamalek (2-1), both away. Additionally, in the cup, Al-Masry won their home game against Gomhoureya Shebeen (1-0). The team is in excellent form and is fully capable of handling El Gouna.

El Gouna is in 13th place in the league standings. They are not vying for high positions but are keeping a seven-point distance from the relegation zone. Essentially, the team from the resort town is playing for its own enjoyment: not aiming too high but picking up points where they can. Or rather, lately, they haven't been picking up points. In the last five rounds of the Super League, the "Black and Whites" have only added one point to their tally — for a draw with National Bank (1-1). In the other four matches in that stretch, El Gouna has lost: to Pyramids (0-1), ENPPI (0-1), Future Cairo (0-2 and 1-3).
A medal contender is hosting a team from the lower half of the table, whose main goal is simply to avoid relegation back to the second league. I think we have every reason to bet on Al-Masry to win this match, as they are clearly of a higher class than their opponent. Yes, in the first round, the favorite couldn't win on El Gouna's territory (a 2-2 draw). But it's unlikely that the modest team from the resort town will be able to take points away from the "White and Greens" on the road. Before that draw, the "Green Eagles" had won four consecutive head-to-head matches against El Gouna: 1-0, 3-0, 1-0, 2-1. My prediction is a home win for Al-Masry.
Prediction for the match: Al Masry to win.
